Question

Hopefully someone can tell if I am being a total idiot and missing something here or not ... maybe there's a way to macro this but I've tried and I'm struggling.

I drag an automation parameter (or press the '[A]' icon on the top-left, or Alt-A) to create an automation envelope for a parameter I've tweaked.

It'd be pretty amazing if - when a track doesn't exist yet - instead of creating one and naming itself something like "Track 30" it actually was a bit smarter and named itself something like "Automation ([instrument name])" or "Automation ([effect name])" where the track reflects what it is we're automating, and then the envelopes that can be expanded have the parameter names (which they currently do.) The instrument/effect/clip name can come from a relevant location since this information already exists.

Also is there a way to have envelopes expanded by default?

Sorry if this isn't the right place ^_^

Nice.  I like this FR, to have (on creation) the automation parameter automatically aliased with the parameter name since they can all be renamed now. 

Not naming the automation track in cases where a thing creates an automation track, because when you use an automation track they usually have multiple children, but auto-naming the parameter lanes like below, prefixing it with the track name, otherwise they'd both read Cutoff below and you won't know which is which unless you also renamed all of the instruments...
