Its a bit like a tracker, yes. But without a lot of the limitations
found in trackers. It takes the best from the tracker, which is fast
editing with lots of information using small space; less time used for
navigating. The screenshot is a bit outdated though, in >v0.60
you can have a total graphical layout looking more like a vertical
pianoroll as an alternative. There is also a new track showing
the tempo graphical with gradiently changing colors.

Yes.

Its sort of explained here:

Unfortunately just midi data for now. The code is modular build up,
though, so its not ~that hard to add sample-support.

The track to the right for the track headed with the number 15
shows the sublevel, and the track headed with the number 15
shows the linenumber in the level showed in the sublevel track.
Its a flexible way to zoom, and has nothing to do with looping.
The number "15" shows the linenumber at sublevel 0.

sublevel 0 is colored black
sublevel 1 is colored white
sublevel 2 is colored brown

etc..

Its not that confusing when you actually use it yourself, and
you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

There are two ways to zoom, the one I have been talking about
now, which I have called local zooming, and the other way
which is global zooming. The global zooming is just a plain
graphical effect. You do a local zoom by pressing
left shift+<arrow down/up> and global zooming by pressing
left meta+, and left meta+. and left meta+.

Thanks. :)
