Description

Except for the MIDI-special case, this is just suggested work-flow-improvements.
Add an option in semi-tone-context-menu : *Send-selected-to-new-track*
The result would be the same, as if we manually:
* Copy notes to clip-board
* close piano-roll
* insert a new track of same instrument-type
* insert an empty note-block in new track
*Open new note-block in new piano-roll
* Paste notes from clip-board

Use case:
The notes from either bass section, or lead of an 'arpeggio' style block should be emphasized by an other instrument.

Special-case: MIDI imported percussion-notes
Here the notes should all be selected by user.
The logic would then split each note in the MIDI-percussion to new AFP-tracks, and place all notes on A4. That would create the basis for making a new percussion with better samples.
This is in essence a suggestion from
