It doesn't surprise me that someone has already worked this out.

It really, really doesn't surprise me that Michael was the one who worked
it out. If no one thinks it is too big an overhead, I can put it in in an

just be a little patch to allow you to use WHOLE, HALF, etc. to describe
note lengths instead of multiples of 16ths. Just some #defines, but they
make it much easier to transcribe "real" music into legOS-ese.
