You got me wrong! I only pointed out that "NSM (Non session management)
support." - http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html Could
cause issues, for those who understand it word by word. And who aren't
aware that "An Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer" -
http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html has to be understand
word by word. Audio tracks are just a bonus that isn't part of the
complete concept.

I never claimed that NSM is bad, I just pointed out that Qtractor offers
features that aren't restored, by this session manager. Users should be
warned! I don't need a warning, I'm using scripts! I don't lamment! I
just want to help, that users once will be upset, because they
misunderstood Qtractors NSM support.

Ok?
