So this is why you needed that "relatively esoteric feature" :P This approach competes with the approach I presented in "New sequencer workflow!" [1], where I use a special case to side-step various sequencer state files: this approach wins on the grounds of simplicity, and I can't see any potential long-term issues with my limited foresight. Do you have any other points of comparison?
