You can add bank and program select track values, which are defined at the
instrument level.
These can be manually adjusted for each track, then saved at the song or
scene level.

An instrument defined as multi-timbral gets an extra field on the TRACK page
to select its MIDI channel.
A single instrument can then be used on different channels on multiple
tracks.

Yes.

You can set a CK pattern not to loop, so in effect it has an infinite
length.
For editing, the bar position is limited to 999 bars.

You can do that.

I've done some work on how a piano roll might look, but haven't got it to
where I want it yet.
It'll be along some time in the new year.
