I agree that it would probably make sense to use something that worked this way. J. S. Bach, for example, modulates through all kinds of unwritten key changes over the course of a piece, and I can see how entering that kind of thing would get tedious fast. It would really be QUITE difficult to implement what you want, and the code would almost certainly be unacceptably unwieldy, but it's thought provoking. I'm not sure whether that means file it or not. It's a legitmate enough request, but it represents some pretty serious investment of time. Would I save enough users enough time by doing this for it to be worth spending a month's worth of development time cobbling something together? I think I could actually do it, but it wouldn't come easy. Not easy at all. I have too many other things I really should be doing at the moment, like finishing the tutorial, to even seriously consider digging into it. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
