Currently "midi clip properties" share an icon with editClip. I think it should have its own icon.
It would make the functionality clearer. Each feature with its own icon.
Example attached.
P.S.
If you don't want to create a new icon, you could at least implement the clipProperties icon call, duplicate clipEdit.png and rename it to clipProperties.png.

re. MidiClipProperties should have its own icon ...
hi, but they are indeed the same because they lead to the very same dialog (clip properties), only that for MIDI clips it goes through the MIDI clip editor first;
I don't see the point of having a different icon designating the very same function--editing clip properties---although different steps...
thanks
I used to differentiate between editing midi and clip properties
For me, "Edit Clip" edited the clip's content, not its container. And the container for me was the properties.
But now I understand. Qtractor sees midi information as part of the clip properties.
Thinking about it, it's an efficient and elegant solution.
But then, I think that if we're in the midi editor, the "Properties" button should be called: "Clip Properties in Track". This way we would differentiate between the internal properties of the clip (midi events) and the context properties in reference to the track (external properties).
And when we are in the sequencer it should be called "Edit Clip Properties" instead of "Edit Clip".
For my part, the solution will be that in my VTQ the editClip icon replaces the current pencil with a gear. That makes clear the concept that midi events are part of the clip properties.
And if the legend "Clip Properties in Track" is added within the editor, it would be clear that within the clip properties, in addition to midi events, there are the clip properties in reference to the track.
I just like to question these things. Don't take it too seriously. Thanks for your attention.
