Can you explain what a useful, certain situation would be that's specific to multiriffs?
That feature would be nice simply for the sake of ease of use. Having the option to regenerate 1, 2 3, or 4 beats from the new multirrifs windows would be, IMO, an intuitive and logic feature, and asking for that feature is, also IMO, reasonable, even if all you can do from the multiriff window is also doable from the audio editing window and even if I, personally, probably wouldn't use it. Flexibility is key in modern UI design. Every user uses BIAB in a different way, and there are so many different uses of the program as there are users. Being able to do the same thing in different ways and from different (but intuitive) places is a sign of a well-designed, modern, and flexible UI. You're an experienced user who have been introduced to the new BIAB feautres progressively over the years, but think for a moment in a new user who may not know what "Artist tracks" are, and who may not understand why after editing a bar in the audio editor window, the name of the track turns orange, the name of the instrument change to "Artist", and a WAV file appears in the project's folder. Trying to think from this perspective rather than from the perspective of the experienced and advanced user usually helps to desing better and more intuitive UI's Also, this feature wouldn't breqak any existing functionality, it just would add another option, so I don't really think there's anything wrong with this request. On the other hand, if the new multiriffs window only adds redundant functionality, what's the whole point, in your opinion, of this new feature? (I'm not even sure if you're implying this, but, but if you are, I'm really interested in your opinion  )
