I’ve come across a couple of topics about how to set the default output level to more precise values than using the slider in prefs. It seems that one still needs some kind of xml editor to make this work. Which one(s) best for this task?
XML is just text, so any text editor – not word processor – will do. (Though generally avoid Windows Notepad.)
On Windows, my go-to text editor is Notepad++; I don’t know what the Mac equivalent is.

Of course! Thanks, Aaron!
On Mac that would be Textedit.

I use Sublime Text on both Mac and PC.
Not sure that TextEdit is the best text editor for anything. It doesn’t do syntax colouring, grep searching, or have any truly useful text manipulation functions.
BBEdit has been one of the best, if not the best, text editor on the Mac for about 30 years. It runs in a “Lite” free mode, and there’s more functionality for the paid version.
It’s particularly good at displaying OS plists as text, even when they’re stored as binary, and it handles permissions of files you’re trying to work with (e.g. asking for authorization rather than just saying “no”.)

No, of course it is not the best editor for this, I just meant it as installed by default like Notepad on Win. The other editors with syntax coloring are better suited.
