To answer my own stupid question:  my shortcuts seem to be preserved, across
recompiles/re-installs.

Sorry, i was being extra-cautious — I would cry over the wasted time if I lost
what I had amassed the last three weeks.

Back to the feature:  OK! It works for me. We're getting there!  This is
awesome. (I assigned "Ctrl+p" for myself)

Now if only we could have full vertical ?  PLay the vertical stack of notes
across all staffs, at the cursor?

I'm not asking for the full monty just yet — which would be computing the most
RECENT note, with respect to the cursor, and including it in the set of
audibles. In other words, check if durations of preceding notes extend beyond,
across the cursor, even if the notes are not written exactly at the cursor (but
their duration might extend through that point in time) (Maybe THAT would be
phase two?)

For phase one, if we could just get the audible stack of all notes *AT* the
cursor (across all (unmuted) staffs)?

And then, of course, some easy progression control with the arrows, perhaps?
(That would just require the additional directive to progress forward, and
prompt for the next incremental, vertical playback)
