Default MIDI note label display: scale degrees

Hi,
I really enjoy the ability to display the note names on my piano roll notes.
How about adding the capability to display the notes' scale degrees with reference to a song key?

It could look something like this imagined example of the scale degrees in C Major:




I think it would be helpful when trying out different inversions and experimenting with chord harmonies.

Thank you.

That is possible manually via making/loading custom note names for each scale and displaying them in notes.


+1 to implementing it as automatic functionality related to "Key snap".


If that is to happen, I hope that 0-11 degree (and "0123456789te" for set theory fans) numberings will be possible as well. In other words, the key would define which note 0 starts from, and all 11 degrees are visible. That would be useful for working with post-tonal ideas.

Perhaps there could be a degree sign ° after the scale degree number, so that it is clear what the number represents?

All of that may require an update to .reascale file format.
