I think it's in the README. But yes, better and more accessible
documentation, preferrably from inside the program itself, wouldn't
hurt.

This is a good idea. The pattern display in general could use some
clevering up. I can't promise that it'll be in next release (I want
recording and looping and track/pattern controllers and some other
things to work well under the hood before I start playing with GUI
refinements), but it's definitely on the roadmap.

Also, in 0.4 there will be a plugin system for the GUI so anyone can
write their own pattern editor to replace the official one, and
distribute it separately. Things like tracker-style editors or staff
editors should be fairly easy to do (well, staff editors are probably
not easy to write, but the interface to the rest of Dino shouldn't cause
much problems).
