Selection Presets selection

This will show a new window for selection presets.

The harmony default expects each selection preset note to be within it's own group. This modification allows us to utilise the tool whilst adhering to our own studio workflow.

Note

When rigging, please remember to name the selection presets of their asset [AssetName]_SelectionPresetNote e.g Frank_SelectionPresetNote
