Hi Andres, I think by default I'll just leave it closed as all of the other panes that are built like that are closed on start (PianoRoll, Main Timeline, etc.). I think it's something you only need to figure out once and I'll place a picture in the documentation and I think that should be enough. Also, I've just uploaded a new blue.jar at: http://www.kunstmusik.com/blue.jar This has the resized tie column as well as cut, copy, paste. I made it such that you can only select from one track at a time. It was hard enough to hack that, I figure it should be enough for most useful situations. You can also paste copied data into a track that has the same number of fields. There's keyboard shortcuts for those operations as well as a popup menu. I'll be adding a clear option later today and will start working on an example file and documentation. Thanks again for the feedback! steven On 10/5/06, Andres Cabrera <an...@ge...> wrote: > Hi Steven, > Very nice! > > Maybe that pane should be open by default?
