Thanks, Chris. I had come across a comment regarding this in
Rosegarden, but couldn't (obviously, since I'm not running the CVS, but
rather the 0.9.1 version) find any way to do it. I agree with the
convention of one instrument per track but wanted to actually control a
guitar effects processor with patch changes all from one track.
Keep up the great work. This program has a beautiful interface and is
quite stable and functional.
Sorry to have also sent you a message from the Contact link on
SorceForge, but I've been scrambling around all day trying to figure
this out. By the way, that Meta Events answer Josep shared with MusE
has not yet worked, so I contacted Werner for help. Absolutely nothing
came up in a search of MusE + "event editor" or MusE + "meta event" (as
was also the case with my Rosegarden search) so I had to wimp out and
beg once again.
Thanks for your time!
Frank
