### Enhancement Summary
It would be useful an option for the piano roll to change the play mode: (Track or Selected MIDI).

#### Justification
I know the piano roll has a button for playing the full song/BB track but it would be more easier with an option like FL Studio has, so spacebar can be used only to play.

#### Mockup

Thanks!.
