And what about a 'align' property for each pattern? When two or more patter=
ns=20
must be played together, the length of the mix would be the length of the=20
longest pattern. The shorter ones would be played depending on that propert=
y,=20
wich would be set in the pattern editor for each pattern, or even better in=
=20
the song editor for each repetition of each pattern. The possible values of=
=20
that 'align' property (there might be more than four, good musicians should=
=20
speak now =3D;-D ) would be:

	* 'right' -> Both patterns must end at once
	* 'left' -> Both patterns must start at once
	* 'right with loop' -> Both patterns must end at once and the 'silence tim=
e'=20
should be filled with loops of the pattern
	* 'left with loop' -> Both patterns must start at once and the 'silence ti=
me'=20
should be filled with loops of the pattern

Just an idea... too complex?? (With this scheme, if you don't set custom=20
lenghts, you don't have to worry about this property).

That was just what I meant, my english is better than I thought!!

P.D: I've seen you have added translations support. I'll try not to get los=
t=20
in the code and make a sapanish translation...
