Here are some last minute changes to the program.

1.	When running in the MPE, RIGHT click on MENU will get you to KCS.
With KCS's dated March 16, 1988 or later, holding down Alternate while
going back will go directly to a second MPE program if one exists.

2.	You can play the next note of a paused line by clicking on P on the
line row.

3.	MIDI merge can be disabled from the Options screen.

4.	Restore Last Start also sets the line ikon locations to their
starting values. You can thus change the start locations for the ikons by
selecting Restore Last Start, making any changes with the right mouse, and
selecting Reset Starts.

The folders MUSICJJ contains example files developed by Jim Johnson. 
MUSICDRT contain example files developed by Dr. T. If you use these files
to create sequences for use in KCS, be sure that the steps per beat setting
in KCS matches that in the example. For each .FIN file, there is a 
corresponding .DOC file with a description. Dr. T's files are a lot
more complex (and more abstract) than Jim Johnson's.

MUSICDRT also contains a file of percussive TX81Z files. All of the examples
use a TX81Z, with these sounds, on channels 3, 4, 5, and 6. These sounds
will be more expressive if you have a slider or foot pedal that can send
breath controller messages. This will modify the timbre of the sounds for
more expressive playing.

Copies of the program dated 6/14/88 and after contain MIDI merge disable
as a toggle switch on the Options page.

Restore last start now also sets the line ikons to their starting locations.
You can use the following procedure to edit the starting locations.

1.	Do a Start, and then go to the menu and click on Restore Last
Start.

2.	Make the desired changes.

3.	Go to the menu and click on Reset Starts.


TIMING NOTE

Fingers has a lot of work to do, including computation and screen updates.
If you really push it, it won't be able to keep up. Even without pushing
the limits of the program, you may encounter timing errors of a 
few milliseconds which you may perceive as changes in 'feel'. Fingers
has been modified so that the sequencer files that it saves will be
considerably more accurate thanm Fingers itself plays in real-time. This
may cause you to perceive a slight difference between the music played
by Fingers itself and the music played by KCS when it plays back a 
Fingrs sequence.

Timing can be improved considerably if you PAUSE any lines that you intend
to keep muted for the entire piece.
