        assigned to F keys on the keyboard so that they can quickly be triggered,
        you can transfer them over the OS clipboard and you can write comments
        to your macros so that you never forget what kind of purpose you had in
        mind for them. Your macros will also appear in the application's menu,
        and when you move the mouse pointer over a macro, a tooltop appears with
-       the comments you wrote for that macro.

        The macro features are based on libgig's new
        "Serialization" framework (described below) and accordingly you need at
        least libgig 4.1.0 for using these macro features.

        upcoming work, only those few parameters are modifed by this macro and all
        other ones are left untouched.
        Of course you can also alter the individual parameter values in
-       this editor as well.<br>

        You might now think, wait a minute, does such a macro change the entire
        instrument, or only a portion of it? The answer is simple: you decide!
        The precise scope a macro is going to modify behaves exactly the same like
        you manually changed individual parameters in Gigedit before. That means
        for example when you check the two check boxes "all regions" and "all dimension splits",
-       then when you trigger a macro, it is going to applied against the entire instrument.
+       then when you trigger a macro, it is going to be applied against the entire instrument.
        If you uncheck those check boxes and select only one specific region and one specific
        dimension region zone, then the macro only modifies this single dimension
        region zone. Or yet another alternative: Ctrl+click the precise dimension
-       region zones you want to be changed by the macro and then trigger the macro.<br>
+       region zones you want to be changed by the macro and then trigger the macro, i.e.
+       by hitting the macro's F key on the keyboard, or by selecting the macro from
+       the main menu.<br>
        <br>
        So as you might see, macros introduce a powerful way for you to create yourself
        a personal instrument construction kit, not limited to only creating global
        templates for entire instruments, but also for an arbitrary set of small and large
        building blocks in any size and complexity you need. For example you may create a macro
        which only sets one single parameter, and another macro which configures an entire filter
-       block with all its filter parameters and controllers, up to a macro which really
+       block with all its filter parameters and MIDI controllers, up to a macro which really
        modifies every single parameter to build up an entire instrument with one stroke
        of a key.

        Multi-row selection has been added to all list views now, so you can now
        more efficiently apply actions to multiple samples, instruments or scripts
        simultaneously at once, instead of requesting those actions for each item
-       individually.
+       individually. This works exactly like you are used to from other applications.
+       So i.e. press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking with the mouse on the
+       individual instruments (or samples) from the list view. Or press and hold
+       the Shift key and click on an item from the list to select an entire range
+       instead with one click.

      <h3>Multi-Zone Selection</h3>
-Line 249
+Line 256
        Also modifying key features of several dimension region zones
        simultaneously is now supported. That means you can now delete, split and
        resize multiple dimension region zones at once. Oh yes, I forget, Ctrl+click
-       selecting multiple dimension region zones is supported now as well.
+       selecting multiple dimension region zones is supported now as well. For the

      <h3>Feature Icons</h3>

        to assign any sample to one of them, then you will see a red dot on the
        respective region or dimension region zone. Another icon type is showing
        you whether a region or dimension region zone uses a sample loop.
-       For example when you just imported a drum sample, you don't really want

        This way
        you can immediately see and control the key features of all regions
        and their dimension region zones, without requiring to browse through all

       Too many shortcuts to remember? Of course you can find all keyboard

       will explain what the action would do. For menu items and buttons you use
       frequently, start using their displayed keyboard shortcuts instead.

            from the previously serialized data stream, while leaving all other data
