Description

Your idea

Would it be useful to allow the user an option in Preferences, to choose the default note-input velocity?. Currently this is 64, but AFAIK this is lower than the default for MS3.

Research direction

Start by locating the Preferences UI and the code that applies the default note-input velocity, currently 64. Confirm how existing preferences are stored and tested before making the value configurable. Done means users can choose the default velocity in Preferences and new note input uses that choice.
