Yes, I keep remembering that I maybe should allow Undo past a unrounded Multiply (MULTI-RECORD), too, or maybe even beyond the last Record, into some previous song? Andre's puts it nice: >The way I see it is, if I don't want anything to happen, I can just NOT PRESS UNDO! Whereas the present ideosyncrasy (it seems wrong to call it a bug, somehow) is really a very intriguing (mis)application of the EDP's unique memory allocation and editing layout, with a lot of musical possibilities. maybe some dont work as free/controlled and want some security to be able to just press a lot (more than enough) of Undos to get back to the first of the bunch (=of that lenght)? > > > >> Chris Chovit wrote: >> >> > >and liberal use of the top-secret >> > >remultiply+undo "bug" maneuver (aka "The Sylmar Shuffle"). >> > >> > Could you elaborate on this?
