>>Maybe it isn't something that I should be overly concerned about in

and go into the next at a any given time.  It's such a pain to get it to not
cut off instantly.

Just to clarify what I meant here - if you want to stop SegA at the next
measure and start SegB but you want an overlap between the two, you can
trigger SegAFadeOut AtMeasure which contains a CC Track on the relevant
pChannel to do a short fade out and a script track with a stopper for SegA
after however long your fade is. If you play SegB AtMeasure as well you
should get your overlap. The track in SegB needs to be on a different
pChannel of course and I suppose that they would need to be Secondary
Segments for this to work, but that shouldn't be a problem. All my streaming
wav Segments are Secondary Segments running on top of a Primary Segment that
just has the Chord track and a few other bits and pieces.
