Overlay notes - Enhancement

[ghost]

I need new function , "Overlay notes"
This function is based on "Domino" , midi sequencer.
about Domino

※You should translate into English with tools.

If we click OverlayButton(in domino , OnionSkill) , we can show other track's note in same piano roll.
You can not edit notes which you show from other tracks , but it is possible to play notes at same in piano roll. You can change colors of notes.

You may read about onion skill from here and I used picture from here.

Please refer to the duplicate issue #520 for more discussion about this feature.

..one more idea for implementing this:
After any selection has been made in any piano-rol, an option:
"use selection as ghost" / a key-combo -is available.
This block-copy will then insert as drawed blocks, in a distinct different color, at the position of the play-head, in any piano-roll.
The benefit is, that n copied blocks can act as ghost, in same piano-roll
Method 'remove-ghosts' should then be an option in piano-roll.

I saw this new button, but didn't guess what is it for until read in release notes.
Would it be a good idea to rename Set as ghost in Piano-roll to something like Display this notes in all piano-rolls ?

Ghost notes seem to be a well known term. I didn't know about it but it was one of the most wished for functions and under that name. Maybe improve the documentation instead?

Maybe improve the documentation instead?

Yes. How many DAWs uses the term Ghost-notes -Does anyone know if its other DAWs than FLs?
If its a general used term, then use it, but if it is exclusive FLs, then maybe we should use a different term
