This reminds me that I needed to regenerate them.

Thanks :-)

Yes.

Holy Woz Machine, I'd never thought I'd ever meet someone who'd have used 
Music Studio on a //gs... I just gave mine to a museum, and I think Music 
Studio was still installed on the 40Mb Vulcan hard drive. Never used it for 
actual music writing though (I don't write music :-), just toyed with it a 
little.

Anyway, I believe the effect you describe (getting a feedback sound whenever 
you move a note about to be inserted on the staff) is something available on 
all sequencers now. Yes, it would be good to have it, but to require CSound 
for that isn't a good idea, it's just too basic a feature. It should work out 
of the box.
