[Rwp] Understanding Envelope Visibility + Should Something Be Done in Osara?

[Scott Chesworth]

So far as I know, there's no info provided by the Reaper API that
OSARA can use to display envelopes specific to the track you're
currently on, hence why OSARA cycles envelopes for all tracks at the
moment. I think it's worth opening as an issue on GitHub though. Worst
that might happen is that Jamie will look into it, explain why it
can't be done if he can't find a way to hack around the limitation,
and close the issue. Even if that happens, you'll have a bit more
insight into the problem and could potentially take that to the Reaper
developers and ask for specific improvements to their API in this
area.
