Sure, you're right -- if you have a pre-recorded track this would be 
the most obvious way to solve a polyphony problem.  However, it won't 
work for live usage, and the environment trick would.  That's why I 
suggested it.  But yes, just cutting the track in 2 parts would be 
the easiest way out for pre-recorded material.

LOL! :-)  One question though: _did_ these scientists figure out a 
way to do it or not? :-)
