One addition: I think we would need to be able keep the Freeze page open while we edit and play to make this arrangement work well.

Yay!  Finally, someone else who wants to make the "Freeze Parameters" window detachable, just like so many of the other windows.  Please please please!

(Seriously, I can recall the various dynasties of Egyptian pharaohs and Chinese emperors with startling accuracy, but I have serious difficulty remembering that I froze the action settings!)

This.

Whatever is checked on the Freeze page, those parameters wouldn't get copied to another key.

One addition: I think we would need to be able keep the Freeze page open while we edit and play to make this arrangement work well. (Now, if we open the Freeze page, we can't do anything else.) Otherwise, the user would have to memorize which parameters were frozen, or go out of Edit mode, open the Freeze page to see what was locked or to lock things, close the Freeze page, middle click to go back into Note edit mode...

EDIT: Also, how are the uprights developing?

Forgive us, Philippe, Niclas, and Julien...

When brains run wild!!!

You have to think of Mac users - they only have one button on their mouse ;) They're bound to use Cmd and Apple keys for this.

Hey, just FYI, I've used a Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball since about 2002 or so -- I absolutely can't _stand_ mice, especially ANY of the ones invented by Apple (and the more recent models are all right-clickable [or pressable], you must realize!). 

Oddly enough, I'm the one who shows all the "PC users" (who, clearly, should never be confused with PC experts) at work when/where they should be right-clicking in their various programs. 

:-)

This.

Whatever is checked on the Freeze page, those parameters wouldn't get copied to another key.

In that case:

1. middle-click: enter note-edit note, refresh the UI with all the parameter values for that note.

2. left-click on the current red key, hold and drag-drop to another key: copies all parameter values to that another key, activates that key in note edit mode (red).

3. right-click, following the procedure as in 2. above: copies all parameter values that are NOT frozen, everything else as above.

Not sure I like having to use the Ctl and Alt keys. My thought was to make it possible with just a mouse on the midi keyboard, cutting out the need for a computer keyboard...

I'd be perfectly happy with this behavior:

1. middle(or right)-click: enter note-edit note, refresh the UI with all the parameter values for that note

2. Ctrl+middle(or right)-click on the current red key, hold and drag-drop to another key: copies all parameter values to that another key, activates that key in note edit mode (red).

3. Alt+middle(or right)-click, following the procedure as in 2. above: copies all parameter values that are NOT frozen, everything else as above.

Makes more sense?

Middle-click again, turning off Note edit mode, and the list reflects the general settings for the preset.
