you can just open the binary file in a decent text editor. They're not in alphabetical order though, at least in the Win 32 binary, mainly in reverse alphabetical.

I was playing with these :

EditorResnapRangeFactor
EditorResnapTimeoutOnMouseUp
EditorDontSnapOnMarkers
EditorSnapOnOtherNotes
EditorSnapTimeout
EditorMagneticWidth

Im assuming they control the new snap behaviour in the midi editor but I haven't noticed any difference yet, probably because I have no idea what values to use.

It would be helpful if someone with more programming experience looked into it.

When looking at it via a Hex editor I replace the 00 bytes between the triggers with the 00 27 hex code for the "em" space i.e. a space. That way when I copy the text I don't have to go 1 by 1 and add a space in between the words. Some of the triggers have 2 00 bytes in between them. I'm starting to wonder if this has some thing to do with the triggers that take the _ after the - in the options.txt file. Or if this is a space for a numerical value.

If someone knows if any of these triggers have a _ or know what they mean please post I'll update the list as I find more stuff.

The nulls will almost certainly be because of data alignment rather than indicating any kind of value placeholder. I wouldn't recommend poking the actual data in the binary.

Hmm. I've hoped for something like "tap tempo doesn't start playback"
Anyone know something about this?
