Feature request - Prompt to add midi track

[dougalex]

When there are no midi tracks, and the user tries to open Piano Roll View, Staff View, or Step Sequencer View, RATHER THAN DOING ABSOLUELY NOTHING (very confusing), the program should have a pop up that asks "Add midi track?" (and maybe give option for either Midi Track or Instrument Track).

Notice that Cakewalk by BandLab had  Piano Roll View, Staff View, and Step Sequencer View menu items "greyed out" when there were no midi tracks.
But Sonar does NOT have those menu items "greyed out" when there are no midi tracks. (So the user is, in effect, invited to click on a menu that "does nothing" in that situation).

The "nice" thing to do is: Rather than just be "greyed out" when there are no midi tracks, leave the menu active. And when user tries to open Piano Roll View, Staff View, or Step Sequencer View when there are no midi tracks... just have a pop up to give user option to either add a midi track or cancel.

At the very least there should be a pop up that says "Add midi track before selecting Piano Roll View, Staff View, or Step Sequencer View" (as opposed to "doing nothing")
