Cerio, fantastic effort summarizing issues, most of which I really hope to see resolved in the next month or two., View consistency was a soft spot for a long time way before new UI. Now the time is better than ever to fix that.

One item I disagree on. Mutes at the bar are tricky, they don't utilize nodes, but some kind of internal instructions. While I like the feature and logic of F5 (automated mutes / back to normal), nodes in traditional sense will not work. However some kind of indication throughout all views would be nice, even something simple as thin line, as we have in Chord sheet when settings at the bar are altered.

And one item you mentioned, I want to amplify. Partial regeneration. I would bet that 1/2 of the users are not familiar with it at all, but it is likely one of the 3 top tools of the "box". It deserves it's own single press "action" button, not just context right click menu smile By the way, that is how I have it programmed in Streamdeck. I select part of the track press single button on Streamdeck and get a new version of the segment. Rinse and repeat till I get something close to what I am looking for.

But taking discussion a bit wider, what about custom buttons that can accept any "open dialog" or action that is achievable with a shortcut.? Select that custom button, write in your shortcut and make it appear in upper toolbar. For example single press partial regen smile
