I agree with all of that. Another small caution concerns the use of the & operator. That is quite easy to implement in a notation program, but much harder in a program which plays or converts to midi. This is particularly the case if you want to do some kind of visual animation such as highlighting each note as it's played. Phil Taylor ------------------------ Yahoo!
