That's all I wanted to hear.  As long as you can set adjustments on
individual clips on a track (a single leaf on a branch on your tree), it
doesn't matter to me if you also have a more global track (root, trunk,
or branch) settings.  I agree that it does make for better design as you
describe it.  

And of course, you are right in pointing out that it is not just the GUI
where software design decisions are made.  

Glad to hear that all.   

best -august.
