I'd like to see how that Sonivox Synth instrument looks and behaves in 
GSEdit4 and GStudio4. That might provide some clues. I'll do that as 
soon as I can.

Find attached a few patches with an implementation of this. The option 
can only be modified at instrument level in gigedit, but gets populated 
down into the DimensionRegions of the instrument during saving, where it 
is easily accessible by linuxsampler, and vice versa during loading. I 
didn't implement half-pedaling because I'm not sure that the release 
samples should be played until the sustain pedal is fully released, I 
can change this easily though. I also included some work towards 
supporting writing of multi-part gig files and a small fix in gigedit 
where a pointer to a std::vector on the stack was being used by a 
ChoiceEntry widget after it had gone out of scope. I will continue 
working on the multi-part gig file writing as I would really like to be 
able to edit my PMI pianos in gigedit.

You are right. The gigedit way is preferable.
