Description

Here is an idea to make automation of preset tracks easier to see. Instead of putting automation tracks in the song editor, I would suggest putting the tracks in the piano roll of a certain preset that the automation is being used for.

This way, it is easier to see which notes are being automated, instead of having to guess.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how automation tracks are currently shown in the song editor and how the piano roll represents a preset. The issue does not name files or tests; clarify the intended interaction and scope first, then define completion as automation tracks being visible with the relevant preset's piano-roll notes.
