There is still this :

Some bits are out of date, but most of it is still current.

Nope :-).

In RG, all music is a series of Events. So whatever structure you use should 
eventually translate into a bunch of Event objects, with the right info so 
they're played correctly.

Sorry, we can answer questions about the code, but we have only so much free 
time :-). There are plenty of very good books and Net resources on the 
matter. Keep in mind that, due to our "development structure" (so to speak), 
the fact that we're geographically dispersed and don't have much time to 
spend on RG, the only development principle which can reasonably apply to us 
is pragmatism : if it works it's good, otherwise try to fix it in a 
reasonable amount of time.
