Description
I've recently started using LMMS on dual FHD monitors, it's amazing how much stuff I can fit!
However, when I loaded a project that I worked on with the dual monitors (LMMS windows stretched to cover all my display space) I had to manually restore the window layout so something that'll fit on one screen.
So an Idea came to me - could LMMS have window layout presets?
I could prepare myself window layouts for single screen work, and for dual screen work and swtich between them easily.
Having the project-specific window layout information saved in MMPZ is cool, but I wish I could override that and use something that better works for me.
This also shows when doing collaborations - someone who's working in different screen resolution will arrange the windows differently, and when I get to work on that project again after he saved his changes - I'll have to rearrange them again.
So - What do you thing about a little "View" menu in the main LMMS menu where one could Save and Load screen layouts easily?

Research direction
Start by reviewing LMMS's main View menu and the existing project-specific window layout information saved in MMPZ files. Define how Save and Load layout presets should interact with those project settings, including single- and dual-monitor use, and document the behavior that would indicate the feature is complete.
