Getting the (relative) position from MGui

I'd like to request a way to get the position of a module relative to it's parent.

Could be two extra outputs x/y outputs on the MGui or a second area output or perhaps a separate module. Perhaps a module that takes a view as input and outputs it's relative x/y coordinates. I don't really care how, just as long as we can get access to it.

It's not the most important issue, but it'd make some things a bit easier. Besides, S|M already has the information; how hard can it be to get it out?

hehe, another feature request that travels the known universe to pass by once for a while....

i guess it will be pretty hard to fumble the xy display from the panel into a primitive output, just because it seems so simple. it would be much easier to implement some new code box commands (hopefully) anyway, heres my vote.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
