You'd want it running in the background, playing music all the time, not just while you're away from Measure. But just to counter your argument: You can a) easily bind application launches to keyboards shortcuts with metacity (so no Terminal required) and b) have started the application already and just switch windows to use it. Hmm, maybe the music player still fits in here: Start the music player to play some music before start of lesson, use Measure during lesson (keeping the music player running), play some music again in the break, use Measure again. Only slightly contrived IMO. :) Let's make it work as well as we can without going to great lengths. Users will always find novel ways to use our software, I wouldn't want to limit what they can do just because we couldn't think of a use case involving that particular kind of transition.
