	Well, they really have gotten a lot of things right with their
new package, MUSIC-X.  It has some really beautiful multitasking.  You can
do all the usual mundane things like change the titles of sequences,
save sequences to disk, change various settings, etc, all while the 
music is playing, without interrupting the timing of the music.  There is
also an "official" method for making separate module programs and using them
from MUSIC-X.
