you close a project when loading another project, or creating a new one...
but it's true that a close button wouldn't be bad. For the moment to 
obtain the same effect:
create a new 'dummy' project and delete (remove) it again (while having 
it open). So then no project will be loaded. The only problem is that in 
this case the display is a little bit messed up: the LCD is in the 
middle of the screen until you open or create a new project.... will be 
fixed one day (but probably not today).

another important feature for prodution use, especially live recording 
(concerts): a keyboard lock feature.
i think of a hard jmb action like <<KK>>, when this action is performed, 
you can make everything on the keyboard and nothing happens untill you 
perform again that hard action. Of course will locked, protux keeps 
running and continues the task it was doing, like playing back or recording.
