til_settings: drop settings->label from generated label
Since these are ultimately intended for use in path construction, it's redundant to include the settings->label in the generated label. Instead what's really useful is just the subscript part: /module/compose/layers/layers[0]/drizzle/viscosity Becomes: /module/compose/layers/[0]/drizzle/viscosity which is far better. It may seem silly to have both the positional subscript *and* the module name, as in why not just have: /module/compose/layers/drizzle/viscosity But there's a need ot handle potential collisions like so: /module/compose/layers/[0]/drizzle/viscosity /module/compose/layers/[1]/stars /module/compose/layers/[2]/drizzle/viscosity So then maybe you think; ok, why have the module name? just use the positional subscript since that alone prevents the collisions. Result: /module/compose/layers/[0]/viscosity ... /module/compose/layers/[2]/viscosity Well, now we've lost useful context. The viscosity setting recurs on multiple modules, and we don't know just at a glance what we're working with anymore. Hence, why there's both. The module name in the path makes things substantially more self-explanatory. These paths will likely be what you're looking at as the labels of tracks in a multitrack sequencer like GNU Rocket. So this decision is likely affecting the UX at that level in the fullness of time.
