RealTracks, Midi Super Tracks, Midi Tracks, Midi Soloists, Melody instruments all have identifying numbers - for instance - RT1551, RT-1152, Slow Piano & Strings #172 and so on.

The suggestion is for direct entry of instruments by their identifying number into the BIAB Mixer, Tracks View, RealTracks Medley Maker, Bar Settings where appropriate and views and windows not mentioned where direct entry would be appropriate.

Over time, often used instrument numbers are recalled from memory and many times these instruments are added to new styles so it is advantageous to quickly enter known often used instruments into a project.

Another example could be a user has decided on a particular solo instrument, perhaps a pedal steel guitar and repeatedly adds it to different styles as styles are being auditioned.

+1. Presently identifying numbers have no relevance to the end user. Allowing instruments to be loaded into the program by identifying number adds relevance.

Another that I mentioned was drag n drop, this could be added along with number entry, as it allows for Direct Input, Held, Timebase etc.. using the smaller, simple RT3 and RD3 dialogs, that just need a Jail Break and drag added. The same with the MST, MIDI and UT compact dialogs etc..
