Thanks. I appreciate that.

Yeah, copyright issues. A black hole of confusion. So long as no one 
makes a big deal of this I supply a bunch of song files marked "for 
educational purposes only". All I can suggest is that folks dl this 
package while it is available :)

Please do finish the changes and send them to me. The library, for the 
most part, really needs to be tweaked. I just don't have time or 
knowledge of all the styles to do a great job.

For Cedars I used the -T switch in the latest MMA in combination with 
timidity to create separate tracks for each instrument. I imported the 
resulting tracks into audacity and fiddled with them there. For a few 
tracks I dumped the timidity generated stuff and digitally recorded a 
keyboard. Add in the sax ... and there you go.
