Attached is an image:
- Name on top is half displayed
- First time input in : input field label gives runtime error screen pop up
- Can't give a name to multi-timbral device description. 
- Rename device descriptions is grayed out: cannot rename existing device description. 

All this for Windows

The clipped label is indeed ugly. No idea why, but this is bad font handling on Windows. Will have a look.

To rename a device you need to visit the device editor (pen + paper icon).

The file cannot be renamed because there is no file (the device belongs to the arrangement). 

Rename it on the Properties tab.

Still, good point. The menu item should not be disabled and rather jump you to that tab.

 i could now give a name to a device description atthe Properties tab  ( in the list of Device decriptions : not  with rename ) 

Tried to setup a multitimbral Halion setup as a arrangement racks, but did not succeed in it 

The only way out all his confusion is to split the soundsetup in a one time arrangement setup and a multiple arrangement setup  

 Then the manual can be improved by explaining the two sound setups 

For now i use a 1 time arrangment as template and assigned to every instrument track a vst plug-inn ( using a multi-timbral vst here?)
