Some known issues that aren't dealt with yet:
* Add measure does not take automation into account, use Structure add
instead.
* Unmuting a track during playback sometimes causes wierd sound offset
issues, cured by stop/start
* Note on the first tick in a loop is not played
* Ctrl+C sometimes does not work for copying a part in the arranger, menu
alternative works
* Automation edit db cue is wrong when editing

Keep on Rocking!
