Please help me name some improvements to the PRV controller pane.    I'll move it to the feature request forum after collecting and summarizing.   
 
I know it's not possible, but at least try to restrict comments to the subject.   There's no need to say, here, no I don't like that -- save it for the feature request forum.  
 
I use the word "Lane" to describe one of the horizontal strips shown in the PRV Controller Pane -- not sure of its correct name.

1.    Disable "grab the value" as a default for the 'Smart Tool'.    Or make a way to draw without catching on the existing value. 

2.  Do not show every controller for every midi channel in every track as a default
 

3.  Do not change the already arranged list of controller panes as a result of Pick Tracks.  
 

4.   In a group of tracks shown together in a single PRV, allow controllers from a track OTHER than the currently active track to be visible (not necessarily for change, just for visual reference). 
 

5.  Provide a way to combine all midi channels for one MIDI CC# used in a given track into one unbroken controller lane.    Alternately, provide a way to see each midi channel for a given track and a given controller in multiple lanes.
 

6.  When using the 'draw tool' to make individual values with a mouse click, do NOT change the tool to some other weird thing on mouse up.    (edit -- maybe this was fixed in recent Platinum revs?   does not seem to be the problem it used to be?)

7.   Allow for two-tier grid lines -- for instance, quarter notes heavier or different color than 16th notes when grid set to 16ths.    It can be very difficult to read which is which on a big window with the quarter way up at the top -- and with the current cursor position in white using a different justify setting than the grid numbers themselves. 

8.  Fix the cursor number justification -- it's silly to have the cursor on the beginning of a note, at a quarter, and see the cursor number in white center-justified right over a right justified bar and beat number.    That cursor number might be optional, too --- you'd think it would come and go with the "tool-tip" preferences, but it doesn't.

9.   Each controller lane INDIVIDUALLY sized.
