I think it's a bug, but I don't know if it's ever been reported.  I've 
dealt with it for
a while now. mainly if I set up a lock on a step to change the 
parameter, it will
only do so if the values of the program change are different than the 
default
values (those used on all other steps).  maybe you should email 
Elektron to
notify them of it.

double stop = all notes off. so I'm not surprised you have to trigger 
it to change
songs (though I don't remember ever running into it as a problem).

by the way, in the works for me is an MD/MnM software editor/librarian. 
  one feature
is that it will enable one to concatenate several songs together into a 
single song.
that way, you can play all of your songs seamlessly if you want to. of 
course, the
maximum row length limitation will still apply. but it's pretty large 
(256, I think), so
it shouldn't be too big of a problem.  until then, you can do the same 
thing with
a *whole lot* of cut and paste :-)
