You could try dexed, it’s a YamahaDX7 clone https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/releases

You need rebase instead. Merge just creates useless commits and makes the diffs harder to comprehend (all changes are shown at once, but with rebase you fix the conflicts in the commit where they happened)

Then instead of your branch of branch strat you just rebase daily into main and you’re golden when it comes time to PR
