Features: A bunch of ideas for UI

[Dev0Lab1]

Thanks for just-a-few-hours-apart support for AceStep1.5XL release.

• adding useful short tooltips to some of the items in the left panel such as: buttons: [Dice] / [Inspire] / [Format] / for all Advanced LM parameters blocks / etc.
• revising/expanding task type titles to something like
  • [text2music] to Lyrics to Song
  • cover to Reimagination of input Song
  • ...
• Designing a logo for acestep.cpp (it really deserves one)
• Adding a button to clear BPM/Duration/Key
  • I noticed if leave them blank they will be guessed without changing anything else
• Adding a progress-bar right at the top, also making a narrow logo/progress-bar at the top be fixed regardless of scrolling down the page
  • the progress-bar could be two one for compose one for synthesize stacked, or even better one with superimposed label, these should only be seen if anything of those in progress.

A side note:
Also I found this post on reddit which refers to this repository as well as even mentioning acestep.cpp in the lyrics!

I do a lot of testing with different LM and DiT CFG values, and would love an option to be able to dynamically add some of the parameter values to the filename/name header on top of the waveform view.
Ex: My Song name xl-sft-turbo-merged (LM CFG7). Useful when doing A/B comparison testings with different values.

Another thought would be able to rename the file by double-clicking that header text.

When selecting a source audio range, would be helpful if you could somehow display the selected time range numerically under the waveform view (In the same area where the existing playhead time and full song length is displayed)

Yes, I thought of that too! can be very useful on PC, plus the responsive UI will add "..." at the end if it overflows. So it's all good!

The most useful thing would be to have the core name of the DiT model used like "base", "turbo", "xl-turbo", "xl-sft", etc., the mode used (text2music, cover, cover-nofsq, or other display names standardized later), and the "Cover strength" is also one of the most important because, due to trial and error or versioning... but step, etc., it's disposable (reproducible rendering). Or we can add the seed also but it's a large number.

The sd-webui approach would be nice, to save a .txt with all parameters for reproducing next to the .wav/mp3 file. The Comfy approach with file metadata is okay, but one might not always want to share metadata when sharing the result.

If you go to "Menu", "Edit prompt" then the main "Save" button, it's the JSON with everything.
