It sounds like we have about three categories of controls on there:

  -- basic playback stuff: the LED-style display, play, stop, pause,
     ffwd/rewind, tempo, possibly time sig and division.

  -- basic record/edit stuff: record, MIDI activity, possibly time
     sig and division.

  -- advanced record/edit stuff: the rest.

We could split it into three sections, one on top of the next: the
top bit with the basic displays and basic playback buttons much as
the transport used to be; the next bit with the record button and
MIDI displays; and the last with advanced stuff.  But then how to
choose which bits to show?  And we could probably do with an optional
menubar as well, for an alternative organisation of the advanced
stuff.

I suggest we worry about the things we need on the transport first,
then layout and accessibility second, then fonts and pixmaps last.
