Item lanes reading support. #555

Hi: Multi item lanes at the same position in the track is a famous function. We can use loop recording to make multiple voicing writing quickly on one track. So please announce the item lane's number for the item and allow users to browse item on the different item lanes. Please follow the video to know it workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZjZk3gG-is

I'm not sure what the advantage would be for this. Items can be navigated with ctrl+lef/right, even if they are at the same position in the track.

Please explain how you imagine this working?

It is possible to get the Y position of an item from the API. This isn't a lane number though, just a screen position relative to the track.

I can see that it would get difficult to manage once you start splitting items in different lanes. In that case you could use the action "Xenakios/SWS: Explode selected items to new tracks (keeping positions)" before editing.
