Too cool. Works perfectly, and I can revise it on the fly. Neat, thanks 
for the clue. :)

I started thinking about this and decided that I want to think about it 
a little more. I'm not sure adding anything is necessary, now that I 
know the #.var feature, and I'm not sure how you could incorporate the 
Csound score notion of sections, section repeats, and section tempo 
control into the cmio GUI without clutter. Gotta think about it...

Thanks for the help !
