I most probably will. I was thinking of changing the current mode to the
non-repeating mode, since GBar can be used to keep the length sensible. I
thought I didn't have much space to store the direction settings per
pattern, but now I've found plenty space so it's not a problem to add lots
of options, except if it makes the UI too complicated.

> What's brownian direction, btw?

A random number is generated at the end of each step. There are weighted
probabilities that the sequence position will either stay the same, move
forward one step or move backward one step.
The name brownian was originally coined to describe the motion of particles
of pollen in a liquid by Robert Brown, a Scottish botanist. Google it, and
you'll find plenty of nice little Java applets that demonstrate the
phenomenon.

Cheers,
