Hi,
I am now getting this message very often when I go to exit/Discard a project:
During the session, I did nothing at all to the Global Rack, so why am I being told it has changed?
Changed from what? to what?
It seems as if this message is being erroneously triggered.

Something you are not aware of has changed and marked the rack as dirty. Playing ranges of a global instrument or something like that.

OK. But what was it, and how could I ever become aware of it, and how would I know this is not just a bug plain-and-simple, and when/why did Synfire's behavior change in this respect?
How about adding an (optional?) console line output at every point in the code where the rack is marked as dirty, stating why? Then we could at least get to the bottom of it.
A dialog asking the user to Yes/No/Cancel when the user has no idea of what is going on surely cannot be considered A-OK to leave as-is!

I've also had on occasion and figuring out where it went wrong ?
Easiest would be to backup a rack setup with its own assigned extra button and not via the menu and save it in the backup folder
In effect you then have a double backup, but more user-friendly and you can name it yourself.
Thought the racks were all automatically backed up by Synfire

Synfire saves all racks automatically. This message comes up only if a rack has been used with multiple arrangements. This message informs you about possible side effects on the other arrangements.
