* Nick mentioned "no "n" to follow the bouncing ball..."--in jest I believe; but, seriously, you can do that too with EMACS and XAUTOMATION do:
apt-get install xautomation (this will install xte I believe) ** well, if you wanted a "bouncing ball" to follow the music, in a say, 1 line per 3 seconds for a presentation/sing-along: xterm -e watch -p -n3 "xte \"key n\" " *** Again, you put the cursor on the EDIFF help window --"n" will go line per line *** Which will work too; I do something like this everyday (use xte calling out of EMACS/OrgMode several times a day at least).
