Hi Peter,
The global commands I use are basically 'reset' messages for the looper, effects and lights but the looper alone requires 4 CC's to do this for each of its 2 channels (because it uses 127 / 0 pairs unfortunately as does the DMX program for the lights). I could easily use 10 to 15 CC and PC messages in the song load section.
I don't use the global section as much as I would like to because it is already becoming difficult to read and remembering what each CC does on a channel is increasingly difficult. The 'programmer' side of me wants to put the commands I do for every song in a global 'send midi' function so I know it's taken care of before the individual song settings take effect.
If ST4 will have a 'command alias' file that works only for lyrics but not for the global 'send midi' section then I can work with that. I would just put a [midi: Reset] line in my 'lyrics template' pdf and use the 'Reset' alias to handle all the details.
If this isn't going to happen then I suppose I could just come up with an offline solution using the JSON file from the lyrics database and a script to do a lot of finding and replacing. This would make offline editing easier but after importing it my lyrics file in ST3 would still be a mess.
