1) Please set up the Piano Roll window so the keyboard displays the drum kit sound name associated with each key of the Pitch Selector keyboard. Presently the Pitch Selector keyboard displays note names such as C3, C4 or C5.

Rustyspoon:

1) Default tool should be a pen tool, not a "selection" tool.

2)There are no UI buttons for selecting one or the other. Holding a current two button shortcut (Ctrl+Shift) to draw is just wrong. You should not hold anything to draw.

3)Full length overlay guides, horizontal and vertical running all the way from piano roll to the note when drawing. Current little green arrows do not cut it.

4)Full cursor on playback

5) A choice of free hand drawing note length. Not just preselecting duration.

6) Adopt a "freehand" move tool, not a separate up down and right. Holding mouse button should grab a note or selection and user should be able to move/drag it anywhere until you let go of the mouse button.

7)Better graphics for Pen / Delete tools. Currently they are too large and blurry.

8)User defined note color. (maybe this is possible already)

9)On the upper right, Help and Video buttons are covering other stuff. Should be fixed.

1) JF +1

1) RS + 1 Don't get me started. The piano midi editing window needs a ton of love.
Yes, to all as they entire things needs to be revamped. New consistent timeline, new loop area, new tools, major change to editing actions.
