I had another look at Seq24 after James posted about it. I've actually
hooked it up to Puredata before, and it was fun to play with, but I hadn't
realised that it had an inbuilt song structure arrangement facility. That
is really wonderful and hence Seq24 looks like my choice for this
project. I might take the next few days before the keyboard arrives to
hack the code a bit and put in the ability for arbitrary length sequences.

Looks good. Weird that I can't apt-get install it in Debian. Maybe if
they had screenshots on their website it would get more attention. I'll
probably compile this one and give it a run.

Yeah it really seems to strike that balance wonderfully!
