When dealing with a specific kind of file, this shouldn't be hard.  A 
generic way to distinguish one from the other, for all filetypes, 
presumably is a bit harder.

Nice idea.  Something like have note on/off at each region start/end or so?

The songfile format has little to do with SDII files.  LSO's do't 
have a resource fork.

No idea...
