Adding/Editing switches in expression maps
You can create new and edit existing switches that trigger playback techniques or combinations
of playback techniques in individual expression maps, for example, to add an add-on switch to an
existing base switch or to create a new base switch with note length conditions.

key switches for Staccato + Accent compared to Staccato and Accent individually, for example.
