I agree with @KYRRHOF , improvements to the expression map editor would be very welcome. My wishlist:
- The easiest target would be to allow searching for a expression map. This already exists on the track settings, but is not in the expression map editor.
- It might be a good thing if opening the expression map editor directly jumped to the active expression map of the current track if launched from there.
- More powerful expression map editing could massivly improve productivity:
- I would love it if we could get some scripting engine like in HALion - maybe with a simple gui overlay for users that are scared of scripting
- Some libraries have multiple groups of keyswitches. Their combination gives the actual articulation. Setting this up in the current system requires a lot (Multiply each of the group sizes) of slots with mostly repeated settings…
- Some (even Steinberg) libraries have keyswitches in which a keypress cycles through some value (on/off might be the most common, but cycling through more values should be nothing more difficult to support). It would be nice if we could represent that in an expression map.

- Another simple thing would be to let the expression map tab in the inspector use the free vertical space if needed. I can currently see max. nine (and a half) articulation, the English Horn from Iconica (to name a Steinberg lib) has 15 articulations. I know we can scroll inside the list, but it would be way better if it used the empty bottom half of my screen so that i could see all the keyswitches at a glance. → also discussed in Expand/enlarge size of Expression Maps list in inspector
