Yes, mea culpa. I wrote the note last night in a moment of frustration,
hoping that there was some more straightforward method in the new CM.
Since this is what I want to be the default behavior (or settable by
some sort of switch), I will probably add a new Stella command to my
installation to do this, I guess what what would be simplest is for my
purposes is to add a command like delete, but one which adjusts the
rhythm of the previous object. Then I have to worry about undelete, etc.
Whatever, I'll think it through. Using absolute mode is possible too,
but I have to think whether there will be cases where I would want to
convert the result back to relative mode, in which case I would still
need to adjust the rhythms at that stage anyway.

I suppose this is a matter of figuring out how I really want this to
work, and then encapsulating it as a new command.

I don't think Rick put that code into the distribution, I think I still
have it somewhere.
