   increases the allowable range for the Note Off/Note On delay and adds the   
   option to randomize the delay between notes within the range you select.  This   
   can add a more human or    
   gospel feel to the music.  Read the help docs for details.  Also, some earlier   
   distributions left some instruments out of some songs.  These have been   
   fixed.  They are: The flute in El Condor Pasa, string ensemble in Moon River,   
   and recorder in Windy.     
   Also, I've added a better explanation about how to add cc's to the .hds file   
   to create effects such as reverb, sustain, chorus, volume, pan, balance, etc,   
   and a list of cc's that most soundcards respond to.  Also, I've fixed the   
   'Load and Play Multiple    
   Songs' dialog to play the chosen songs in the same order as they're listed in   
   the 'File Open' dialog, instead of in pseudorandom order as was the case   
   before.  Also, I fixed the guitar fretboard mapping.  Previously, notes were   
   fretted 1 octave too high.    
    Also, I added a better explanation of the 'Ticks per Quarter note' field in   
   the 'Save to .mid file' dialog.

   Is there a new website or download link for MidiMapper and your sng to hds   
   app? Thought I would try wayback machine but they don't have any of your apps   
   backed up. Thanks!
