Thanks, Jef, good advice. Curious as to why you say "assign by double-clicking, NOT metatool"... As there will be six or seven instances comprising different interval sets, won't each of those instances require individual tweaking (which will mess up all the others if not assigned by metatool)?
Perhaps I am missing something.
