Thoughts from the mind of Martin, Jeremy, 18-07-2002:

I don't know the answer but, frankly, I don't think it's _that_ 
relevant anyway.  What good is splitting a 5-octave keyboard when you 
want to be able to play 3 or more instruments, each spanning maybe 2 
or more octaves?
Workarounds are okay, as long as they work for most obvious 
situations.  Controlling 2 instruments with just 5 octaves of keys 
doesn't seem to fal in that category imo.


BTW, did anyone try the switching-environment I posted about?  Up 
till now it seems only Herbert tried, in LAWG 4.8.1, and for some 
obscure reason it crashes his machine -- which definitely should not 
happen -- so I would be curious to hear some from some more people to 
see if they can at least _load_ it properly.

For those willing to give it a shot:
