Hi, Just to pick up on the Control Editor: No, I don't intend to do a tutorial on it, because it is almost exactly the same as the Note Editor. Have a listen again to the tutorial on the Note Editor and check out the manual for the Control Editor - you'll find it is almost exactly the same. The only difference is that I don't "play" controllers when you land the cursor on them, hopefully for obvious reasons.
Hope that helps. James.
