Matt,
It's a public discussion, so its natural to expect non-focused suggestions. This user input/opinion thread should have at least several sub topics to be more specific. One on each view, tools, library and "other".
I agree on the chord "cells". But it's a much bigger discussion. If I remember correctly, there are couple of existing logical issues. For example if let say you want a 1 beat bar in 4/4 setting. Even you are editing a specific bar, all following bars after the edited become single beat bars. There were couple of other issues that I can't remember now.
As far as Micro Chords... it was a strange concept, as they play over existing main chords like a layer. Which could produce interesting musical bits. What I am saying, they don't actually play 1/16ths parts as one would imagine.

Robert(w),
In your mock drawing, it's a bit unclear how bar setting logic would fit. You have wording "depending on what is selected"...
I think I understand where you going with this, but contradicts the existing logic. For example: Mute all except.. All back to normal except.. Everything in compact setting.
With various views, you will have a natural discrepancy where tracks are located and their zoom level. So selecting actual tracks will be less unintuitive and slower than existing process. I sincerely doubt it will be possible to reinvent this mouse trap. Logic is solid. My biggest "functional" issue with Bar Settings in current state that it has this dropdown for non legacy tracks instead of having a whole list, so it would require quite a few extra clicks. Monkey labor. In my mock, I left all the logic intact with exception that it has a full list of tracks.
About Chord options (Rests, holds, etc.) full height panel will accommodate 24 tracks (max in BIAB). I believe if real estate allows for full list, reserve scrolling for rainy day. Limit of 24 tracks actually be beneficial on this.
