Hi Tyler,

Thanks for responding.

I will forward to the pd list now it's up again.

The midinote option is a good idea, and I have thought about something like
that for the dummy version I am making with some sound samples the performer
has sent me.  Problem with that though is that I want to differentiate
between the same note on different strings.  Good clue though.

Cheers,

Jb
