Description
Hi , I have just noticed a tracker called "Sunvox" , which has a piano_roll type of keyboard setup, I didnt look much at how it works, but it was the GUI element that struck me as being clever.
Each octave has the white keys in order light.. darker .. light etc, this for me would be really helpful for a novice to quickly help them to recognise where each octave starts/ends. Both sets of key colours white and light grey both have images set to be darker in accordance to their hue.

Start by locating the piano-roll keyboard UI and compare its octave shading with the Sunvox keyboard shown in the linked video. Done means odd and even octave ranges are visibly distinguished while preserving the existing white-key color treatment.
