Thanks, Chris.  I had come across a comment regarding this in 
Rosegarden, but couldn't (obviously, since I'm not running the CVS, but 
rather the 0.9.1 version) find any way to do it.  I agree with the 
convention of one instrument per track but wanted to actually control a 
guitar effects processor with patch changes all from one track.

Keep up the great work.  This program has a beautiful interface and is 
quite stable and functional.  

Sorry to have also sent you a message from the Contact link on 
SorceForge, but I've been scrambling around all day trying to figure 
this out.  By the way, that Meta Events answer Josep shared with MusE 
has not yet worked, so I contacted Werner for help.  Absolutely nothing 
came up in a search of MusE + "event editor" or MusE + "meta event" (as 
was also the case with my Rosegarden search) so I had to wimp out and 
beg once again.

Thanks for your time!
