I briefly tested this, and I am able to get into a state where the step recorder playhead is detached from the normal playhead. Then again, this might be how it is on master also.

Also, the step recorder color seems to be a bit more pink/orange than the recording playhead?

(And I tested, the themeable recording line color does seem to work! I'm able to change it's color via css in my purple theme)

Yeah It's the same as master. Maybe I should hide the playhead while step recording?

Yeah I noticed that. I got the color from the step recorder button (which is just (255, 0, 0). Which colour do you prefer? I'll make sure they match up.

To be honest, the current red color of the recording line sort of feels really dark, but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it. Maybe someone else can give their opinion too?

Well, you are able to use the playhead to kind of "preview" the notes you've added so far, so I think it makes sense to keep it there. Actually now that I think about it, the recording done in the step recorder is with it's own playhead, not with the piano roll's playhead, so it might even be okay to keep the normal playhead white?

@bratpeki what do you think about the colour of the playhead? maybe we use one of the reds mentioned in #5166

One thing's for sure is we should agree on a red to use for recording and stick to it across the board.

Yeah, I think you're right.
