Sonar is what I'm changing from, and the only thing I really miss is that ability to get right down to an individual note or controller message and edit the value or position in the list. It's a great way to find problems too, such as a note-on that is missing a note-off, or for fine-tuning a program change controller while the editor sends out the codes to the hardware or software plugin and the effect is audible in real time. As we all know, program change numbers are sometimes illogically difficult to get right unless using General Midi standard banks. The ability to scroll through program changes (possibly with the mouse wheel) while a pre-defined note is sent to the VST instrument or the hardware MIDI device, would be lovely. The ability just to drag the controller code up or down the list to make sure it gets sent just before the first note you want changed, rather than just after, would also be fantastic.
The list is merely an editable scrolling text list, with columns for position (bar:beat:tick etc), note number or controller code, the interpretation of the code next to it, (eg "Volume" "Pan" "Program Change" etc) and the value if it's a controller, eg volume, velocity, etc.
If Jules is reading this - any chance of looking at something like this? For those of us who work more in MIDI than in audio, it would be a very nice addition.
Thanks for a great program, and for possibly considering my suggestion.

). You could also have a filtered view, showing only those event you were chasing, e.g. Vol, Program Change, or Note On/Off, for example. Perhaps, just to put the icing on the cake, an error-checker also - whereby certain errors, such as a note on without a corresponging note off, or a pedal on without a pedal off, could be identified and highlighted (should that be 'highlit'??)
