Scrolling List Field

[John Baxter]

Mark,
The code works great for my listfield stack! The TabField on my mainstack
was displaying the ukefont, but when I clicked Insert on the chord Palette,
the chord was inserted without changing the existing text. Exacty what I'm
trying to do. But, I'm not sure what the code would be for the other Palette
with multiple buttons (all using the same font). When I click a button, it
changes all the text back to the ukefont.
John
