Though for repetitive midi stuff there's actually a part type called clone that allows to place one midi part on several places, which can be useful (though there is a very elusive bug that causes it to misbehave from time to time). For audio there's lots that can be added to help with loops.

Ok, basically a comment field for all mixer items. .. And why stop there, it could be added for parts also. Interesting ideas, thanks! /Robert > > James -- http://spamatica.se/musicsite/
