Default Make midi items pooled?

Hi,

After already placing several midi items across a project, is it possible to pool them so that any edits made to one affects every other pooled midi item?

You could pool them by
1) First making sure you have selected Pool MIDI source data when pasting or duplicating media items in Preferences/Media/MIDI and then
2) Replacing the items using Project bay.

In Project bay under the Media items tab, right click over the active take name of the item you want to pool with some other item. In the right click menu under Replace in project, Replace with , navigate to and select the item you want to use as a pool source. Repeat for all the items you want to pool.

Caveats: All items which are pooled will inherit everything from the source, so if you have already done some individual changes to them as they are now, they will be lost. If all the MIDI items have the same generic name (e.g. untitled MIDI item), it might be harder to select the right item as a source and which ones to replace. This won't matter if any of them is fine as the source, and/or if you are replacing them all.

Option 1 seems to fit my workflow nicely going forward.

Thank you.
