Image smaller 26 pixels dissapears/Sad news

[Beat Cornaz]

I feels kinda odd to go on with the daily stuff, like asking questions  
during these days.
I've seen Eric's name pop up and have recently gotten a trial version  
of his ListMagic.
It is sad to hear about a member passing away, even more so as he is  
so much appreciated by everyone.
It touches my heart to read all the messages, whishing his family  
strenth.
I send my condolences to his family and friends.

Thanks for your reply. By Notes I didn't mean the 'Note Symbol' as in  
written music, more colored squares
on a grid, represeting notes. Time being the horizontal axis and pitch  
being the vertical. Imagine a piece of graphic paper where you color  
some squares, which represent the notes.

I think the traditional way of scoring has many limitations. (One  
being ruled by the number 2. To express a triplet you have to write  
some division by a power of 2 , being 1/2 ,1/4 ,1/8 or 1/16  and then  
have to write above that these are actually thirds).

On a grid, it's also easier to see the (geometrical- and other-)  
transformations I am
applying to the 'Notes'.

I actually started out using graphics (rectagles) to represent the  
cells, but found that setting the imagedata of an Image is much  
quicker and not needing tens to hunderds of graphics.

The slanted oval script might come in handy with something else.
