"stamp" copy methods

[Thomas McGrath III]

Kurt,

You may want to check out GarageBand on the Mac side that comes with  
the iLife software from Apple. I have been playing with it for a few  
months now and find it incredibly easy to use but full of powerful  
features. The reason I mention this is that the music notation aspect  
of it is very easy to use and might be of use to you. Of course it is  
not available for Windows and I doubt it will be in the future so  
your cross platform app might be very useful.
