I'm working on this piece with an eye towards having, at the end of the 
process, a nice example/system/framework/method that I can share with the 
'Pond. As such, I guess I'll have to figure out which is more desirable: saving 
the effort of entering explicit durations, or having quotable lyrics.

Beyond this issue, what other headache-savings can you point to?
If I'm ultimately recommending a more typing-intensive method to other users, 
I'd like to at least have some carrots to back up my stick**.

Thanks everyone!
Kieren.

"incorrect") modern sense…  ;)
