MIDI to set rating? (For only/loudest track playing) #10137

I've been through the MIDI menus but I don't see anything for being able to rate the playing track.

I have a nanoKontrol2 and it would be handy to bind the transport buttons to this so I can quickly work through preparing my library/crates.

I guess there could be MIDI rating bindings for each deck, but just having 5 that affect the rating of the track with the highest mixer level at that time, with a failure for anything to happen if any two deck channels have the same level.

We already have [group],stars_up / stars_down, check https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/mixxxcontrols. They are also available in the User Interface menu in the mapping wizard.

Having a mixxx control to pick the 'active' deck is unnecessary: with a script function you can easily read the crossfader and/or Vol faders and decide which deck the controls should affect.

But since we enable users changing the color of loaded tracks and selected tracks in the library we could also create controls to directly set the rating in the tracks table.
