So,
I believe I already made this suggestion someplace, but important things can be said more than once right?
My most definite number one item on the wish list, is the ability that Impulse Tracker had.
Of course, in Renoise it can be done in a much nicer way.
When I am creating songs with 16+ tracks, and each track has its unavoidable effects/volume/panning and sub tracks, I end up seeing only a handful of tracks on the screen, width-wise.
I would love to have the ability to see ALL tracks on the screen, even if just in “read only” mode.
Also, I am sure other people also end up in a situation where they have tracks that they do not edit too often (for example, the kick-snare-kick-snare track), so I would like to “compact” the view of this track, so that I can still see it, still keep it in the desired location, and still it will not interfere.
So, I would like to suggest one method for implementing both, with one single feature - “Compact Track View”
A shortcut key to “Compact All Tracks” (toggle)
A compacted track will only show the note, and it will not be editable (or if the geniuses at Renoise can find a way to allow edit, even better)
I have prepared a quick mockup for demonstration:
In this view, all tracks are compacted (but I would also love to have the ability to compact selected tracks only)
This is my #1 through #5 on my priority list, I do not have #6 yet.
