But as I recall, you can't have the two programs playback at the same time - one of the two programs has a lock on the MIDI file at a time. In order to hear your edits in the secondary editor, you'd have to close out and play in REAPER (unless I'm missing something).
'Close audio-device when stopped and application is inactive'?

Don't get me wrong - I realize that I'm in the minority. I understand that REAPER will evolve as a collaboration between the dev's vision and input from a majority of the userbase.

I'm not even sure you're that much in the minority. I would like it as well - even if just to store all data (or at least all references to it) that belongs to a song in one place.

(personally I need it more for printing than for editing purposes)

All I'm saying is that there is currently a workaround which is far from being terrible or unusable.
