No answer yet.
back to the note display.
Where should the list of note number to drum name conversion come from?
1. Where someone has imported a drum set, like {GM standard note # to drum name/type} or also be user definable .ini file that would include gm drum mapping as well as a couple of user definable sections in a .ini file.
I say this because some vst's use non-standard drum mapping and some drum triggers also use non-standard mapping.
- If you happen to be triggering from some midi drum hardware.

Does it even matter...

For my own personal uses - I will need either a note translator to convert notes from my Roland handsonic (because I will tap them in on the pads) to GM - then edit as necessary...(mouse) or have separate drum map in Reaper.
Not sure which of those is easier/better. I also have another drum trigger devices so the need for multiple maps is apparent for my use.

Not that anyone else would need these features. Start with the GM drum map, as you suggest and get that txt on the display. Where would the text come from? an .ini file or some list in .ahk or can reaper itself transmit that info to the mouse position for ahk to pick up?

Which leads me to where are you getting the note names var?
Is there a custom message coming across your script from the mouse location?

Code:
ControlGetText, Note, Edit4,, midiview

ControlGetText, Position, Edit5,, midiview
Where did you learn what the value of Edit4 and Edit5 where?

I only had a few mins to look at your script today while working.
I will look again.
