Hi
Sorry for my english. But i think, it is understandable ;-)

Without this ability (ghosted channels) it is very difficult to create good music. I saw in FL-studio-8, that there you can see the other patterns ghosted in the pinao-roll, where you are working at the moment. Without this ability it is very uncomfortable and difficult, to place the notes at the right position. There you can give the several channels different colors, too.

It would be great, if lmms supports this features.

I use Win7 32-Bit.
I also like that this option was possible.

In fact, the LMMS should have been inspired by the 'Music 2000' program... (developed by Jester Interactive and Codmasters company)

Thanks!
I was thinking of this too. I'd call it "overlays" though. Track overlays should have user definable transparency (opacity?) and color vs. the currently edited track. Overlays should also have an octave-shift feature, and even allow overlay of the current piano-roll. (Wouldn't you like to be able to tell what's going on with that part that scrolled off the bottom?) Last but not least, automation tracks should be included in this feature. (And likewise a piano-roll should be available as an overlay when working on an automation track.)

I'd definitely say such a feature would be nice, because coordinating multiple instruments isn't always easy to do as things currently are.
