Filtering MIDI events
When you are editing MIDI in the Project Browser, the large number 
of different MIDI events displayed can make it hard to find your way. 
To remedy this, the Filter pop-up menu allows you to select a single 
event type for display.
When this option is selected, only Program Change events will be shown in the 
event display. To reveal all event types, select the top item (“---”) from the menu.

dled in the same way in the Project Browser. Each Automation item in 
the Project Structure list will have a number of subentries, one for each 
automated parameter. Selecting one of these parameters in the Project
