Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Anyone out there using their XL-7 to do odd time signature stuff (7/8, 
5/4, 11/8 etc) in grid mode?  

The Manual gives a little info on how to deal with 3/4, but 7/8 has been 
eluding me.  I can't find how to get to the beats that won't fit on the 
16 buttons... the 17th thru 28th 1/6th notes in the bar.  

When I attempt to and hit play, I can see them go by but I can't figure 
out how to get to them to edit them.

Anyone done this?

Also, I do a lot of live music for bellydancers using (real) bouzouki, 
flutes and various percussion.  I plan on working more electronics into 
it (in the vein of Peter Gabriel's "Passion").  

Just curious, anyone else out there doing anything similar?  Having fun 
with the World Expedition ROM?

Not yet, but I'd love to work with some belly dancers if you need a hand 
(or a foot, or a ....) !

I actually have worked with belly dancers, both playing live and 
providing music for them.
They are a hell of a lot better to look at than me!

I've just been working with a contemporary dance company in Istanbul -
does that count?

(The sound source for the score wasn't the XL-7 though; it was a
1970's Brunsviga mechanical calculator...)
