Description

Also the "Move Loop" Buttons [that were suggested here](http://linux-multimedia-studio-lmms.996328.n3.nabble.com/Live-playing-amp-loop-based-workflows-on-LMMS-td9329.html) should be MIDI assignable too. This would improve the ability to live perform a lot.

Research direction

Start by locating the Play, Pause, Stop, Record, and Move Loop button entry points in the LMMS source, then trace how existing controls become MIDI assignable. Confirm the expected live-performance behavior and test that all listed buttons can receive MIDI assignments without breaking normal mouse operation.
