Well, you are of course perfectly welcomed to disagree, 'respectfully' or otherwise smile
But the shortcoming in your outline there (while true & accurate) is still that regardless of which "Type" settings one picks, it's always the same one for all of the tracks at once, or none at all.

But ok, far be it from me to want to turn this into some pointless I'm-right-and-you're-wrong thing that goes nowhere. So, having said that, I'm now leaning towards something that'll allow both ways, something akin to e.g. the Natural Chords options, which exists in both the Global and the individual. That way those who are happy with things the way they are won't need to worry about anything being taken away from them, and there'd still be the options of further choice for those who want or feel such a thing is missing.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
