Description

Suggestion
I think it could be beneficial, if the window of automation-editor AE, could be made transparent (just a dial for alpha value). This would especially help, when detuning is made, because it would be possible to see the detune-lines in piano-roll, through the AE.
Since this is only used in editing, the transparency should not hit cpu significantly.

Research direction

Start by locating the automation-editor window and its relationship to the piano-roll, then inspect how the editor's visual settings are handled. Done means providing an alpha-value control for the automation-editor so detune lines remain visible through it without a significant CPU impact.
