Hmm, your answer reads too complicated to me. I am a simple layman (when it comes to programming), so if you excuse me, I will restate my thought with some more detail. I do that because I believe that Qtractor is much closer to a (so important) drum-editor than it seems.
What I have in mind is:
-leave the mixer as it is.
-Create (say) three midi tracks, assign three drum elements to them
and now:
+be able to edit these three midi tracks in ONE midi editor window
+in midi editor, have the ability to switch display to fixed note length (sort of drum-view)
This will provide enough flexibility for quick drum edits:
- drums are created/edited in one window (which is crucial)
-lengths are not displayed, which helps the creative process (today we make music visually as well as aurally)
- vol/pan/fx are manipulated through standard mixer
