Description
Current 'save-as-template' apearently just resave the project as mmp, but renamed *.mpt
I propose a dialog that would allow the user to remove or preserve chosen project elements.
User should be able to create a template, using check-mark dialog, **without** any or all

- Note-blocks
- Automation-blocks
- song-editor-BB-blocks
- BB-editor-patterns
Default i think _everything_ in a project should be _directly saved_ in the template. This would make the exclude process 100% _active_ -Eg the user should not be able to 'loose' any element, if he hasent explicit chosen to exclude specific project-elements.
If user choose to exclute _all_, the user should only create a template with the existing instrument-presets, nothing else.

Research direction
Start by examining the current save-as-template entry point and how project elements are written to the renamed .mpt file. Review the listed note blocks, automation blocks, song-editor BB blocks, and BB-editor patterns. Done means a dialog lets users explicitly preserve or exclude these elements while retaining instrument presets when all are excluded.
