I'm just talking about the setting for whether a particular ruler is visible
or not, and nothing deeper than that.
It used to be stored in the segment, I think. Open a velocity ruler against a
particular segment in a matrix view, and then open another matrix view, and a
notation view. They all show the ruler.
We could still do it that way, but I wonder if it's actually all that useful.
Do I want something like this to follow my segment around from editor to
editor?
I don't really think so, no.
So the other side of it is if I open a velocity, a pitch bend, a pan and a
modulation ruler in a matrix view, do I really want the next matrix view
(possibly of some completely different segment) to come up with those same
rulers until I turn them back off?
I don't really think so, no.
I think for myself as a user, if these were quick to turn on and off, I would
probably be content to create a ruler on the spot as needed, and let it
evaporate when I was finished with that particular view window.
Anyway, there is a lot of other stuff we can do before we really have to
settle this question, so since there's nothing being held up waiting on a
decision, this is a good opportunity to just spend some time thinking about
how it should work.
