This seems counter-intuitive. Could you give me a synopsis of why? Channel as 
a track-level property seems fairly obvious, but giving each Segment an 
Instrument seems kind of odd, unless I'm misunderstanding. I label my tracks 
things like gtr1, gtr2, bass, flute, etc. To allow Track 1 (labeled gtr1) to 
change instruments to a trumpet three or four segments into the piece seems 
to me to be a pain in the rear. Then, if you're copying from Track 4 (the 
flute) to Track 1 (gtr), you have to go through the extra step of changing 
the instrument.

Yeah, there's a potential problem here. I haven't thought that much about how 
to actually make the guitar effects sound good. I've just been kind of 
brainstorming and spouting out how other programs that do tablature. It may 
be intractable to implement anyway, no matter where the channel is stored.

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
