Dude,

Replacing lack of technical expertise with trolling doesn't work. Not
everyone is as generous as las to spend two friggin hours explaining
you how automation on MIDI events works, while facing your, frankly
speaking, arrogant behaviour. The trick isn't going to work every
time, and definitely not in GIMP lists.

You are more than welcome to ask question and even question decisions,
but don't expect everyone to just rush having a conversation with you.
