Great, glad it works for you.

Yeah, I picked up on that too :-/ 

I *think* the pri vs. sec scene can be predetermined by the order in 
which the scenes switches are selected - not certain, didn't have 
enough time to work that out yet.  And I didn't try stepping through 
consecutive Voices either, but it shouldn't be an issue as the 
scenes are saved at the Voice level.
