Ah, OK, I did see 'details but got lost in the huge pile of parameters :)  
Either one of those should do it.

I'm still learning how to use the tweaking references. That is, on the 
supercollider mailing lists, I'm often pointing people to specific parts of the 
help, but I've used the help for a long time and I know where things are and 
how to read them. With LP, I'm starting to navigate the manuals better but 
still haven't developed the 6th sense for finding that one little nugget 
quickly in the middle of a long text. It'll come.

Thanks!

^^ I notice a few other James-es here, so I think I'll start using my initials 
here.
