Sure willing to give this a shot Robert... but I have a hinch Bill is
right... you may come close.. but not really getting the whole cigar...
Problem is the same all ETD's have to deal with... single partial
buisness... To get it just right you probably have to actually count the
beats... that means at the very least dealing with two different notes
each with their own partial as part of each relavant coincident pair to
achieve the effects.

But I will give it a shot... and let you know what I think.

(I leave the Veritune out of this as I have no idea how it works yet)
