Title speaker symbol missing Request "Play notes while editing" command be added to toolbar

For both 1.3 and 2.0, there was/is a "Play notes while editing" option in Edit / Preference / Note Entry. I am not clear on what this was supposed to differently than the toolbar icon, but they appeared to be independent - turning off the preference did not turn off the toolbar icon. I I sort of guess maybe that was a bug that was fixed by simply removing the icon fro the toolbar. But I dont know the story.

In 1.3, both appear to toggle it during a session; the only difference I see is that the Preference is remembered on the next session. Seems actually the toolbar button should have been *disabled* if the preference is turned off, since the toolbar button then has no effect.

I guess for me, either way, this is a seldom used command - if I don't want to hear sound while editing, I probably don't want to hear sound *period*, so I simply mute my speakers. So with the new toolbar buttons for 2.0, I can see why this one might have been removed as a bit superfluous given that fact and the existence of the preference.

Ultimately, it would be nice to have customizable toolbars - the ability to place icons for *any* command on the toolbar.
