Shaketracker used like this is pretty neat, but i found it annoying having two seperate programs running. I think what
i'll probably do at some stage is code a 'track' external a bit like Yves' Pianoroll turned on it's side, except with
numbers instead of a vertical scale for the notation. So it would effectively be like a single track lifted from a
tracker program with the same keystrokes etc. Time and laziness permitting of course.

Chris.
