Dialogue for Export MIDI: Please explain 'PRN'.
In order to understand the 'PRN' option in the MIDI dialogue, I had to search around quite a bit, even in MS (no luck), to find a definition.
There is scope for the dialogue to be more helpful here, as I suspect many other people won't know either.

PRN?? Not RPN? The latter is Registered Parameter Number
And indeed that should get added as a tool tip

Oh sorry yes RPN.
The text should read something like
"[] Include the RPNs (Registered Parameter Numbers). For advanced users of MIDI."
The reason it would be 'advanced' is clear if we look at the parameters currently registered with the IMA (whatever that is 😆):
0x0000 – Pitch bend range
0x0001 – Fine tuning
0x0002 – Coarse tuning
0x0003 – Tuning program change
0x0004 – Tuning bank select
0x0005 – Modulation depth range
Whew!
