There's a point. Are you talking about the P+1 thing??? I think simply
increasing the frequency will suffice. In fact, MBWAVE also does this, since
I hear no audible 'steps' in the pitchbends.

I was not talking about compiling the script (although tokenizing it might
be a good idea. Then others also won't be able to view the script and read
the entire story). But retrieving a palette right from the image it belongs
to is much easier and faster than reading it from a script (which also
involves pointers and 'command-line processing' oftewel interpreting).
