right, so it seems i was confused by the nomenclature used in the list 
editor. others will be too perhaps.. can I suggest that we change the 
"Comments" column to "Type" and then have the current type column called 
something else ? the actual controller type is immediately more 
important than the bit depth of the controller imho when reading a list 
editor. You look at the tick,bar THEN the TYPE of controller - that is 
what controller is it? The bit resolution of the controller is less 
important when looking at the midi stream.
