Re: [Bluemusic-users] Multiple tabs containing a selection of several instruments

[Steven Yi <ste...@gm...>]

Hi Jan Jacob,

Sorry it's taken me a while to reply!  I think there's an interesting
problem to solve here, but I am not sure what is the best solution.  I
would say though maybe best to file a feature request and I can
schedule to look at it after 2.7.0 goes out.  I might be able to spend
some time doing a branch to try to implement something that we can
then test to see if it works well or not.

Thanks!
steven
