Like I said, as long as we're talking about note data only - that's doable. Provided that someone actually does it... Old project files could be easily opened by removing everything except instrument tracks from them. Presets may not sound exactly the same but they should remain... mostly compatible? Some knob values will need manual re-adjusting. The only tricky thing with note data is the overlapping patterns problem, that'll require some actual compat code... should still be doable though. Perhaps it could be held as a carrot for enticing people to donate for the paid developer project... You know, as a perk? Stretch goal? Would that be a reasonable thing to do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
