You may be right, but I don't want to give up on DMP just yet.
Most likely, if we roll our own solution, it will sit on top of Direct
Music, with primary segments triggering our code. This is because I
eventually want to explore using DLS2 instruments on top of my wav
sections, by embeding the wav segments chord changes into the segment
for reference. I also want to be able to use the player music concept we
used in AC2, which is pretty fundimentally a DMP type of system.
Anyway, I'm only going to bang my head against the wall so long
before we start rolling our own. The difficulty, of course, will be
convincing our management to spend the code time after we have our old
music system (the one used for AC2) finished and (mostly) working
correctly.

Hi Jason,
From an outside perspective: you seem to be pretty frustrated early
in the project, and have enumerated a long list of difficulties that
don't seem surmountable (i.e. behaviours of DMP you have no way of
changing). Plus, DMusic doesn't seem to be saving you much work (since
you'll need to re-implement groove levels in scripts), and saving work
is what a good tool does for you.
If you are comfortable with the concept, it sounds like creating
your own music system might be the way to go this time.
(Which is not to disparage DirectMusic at all - no single tool is
the right solution for every job, even within its intended scope).
Saul.
