March 3, 2008 Made further improvements of imported midi to include all types of files encountered. Modified the 'Tempo' control to give lower tempos for settings 0..10.
February 25, 2008 Modified the player's list selector to include the scale heading. Works for the replace button and the label can use the scale's popup menu. Improved imported midi.

November 27, 2007 Revised and improved small change Replace functions, with options to change up, down, or both for the smallest changes.
November 22, 2007 Added 'Stay At Lp' to the players which lets you play only the loop section determined by the division and loop selectors. This helps with editing loop sections, and can be used with other features to create new rhythms.
November 9, 2007 Rebuilt the sequencer for play buttons which will allow timing between them to be tweaked by adjusting grid lines. Loading the sequencer is done by clicking play buttons with the load option checked. Right-clicking sequencer sections will reset play to those sections. Modified the 'Move Vc' up/down control to move paused notes showing on the keyboard for count-only moves. Modified 'R/L Click Move' (right-select, left-move) to use the player's loop selector as an alternative to left-clicking at the current loop section.
