===============

1) if the mutes don't work out as planned/desired, it's much easier to 
unmute than it is to replace notes.

2) AFAICT, you can't "just" delete notes in song mode; that would have to 
be edited in the pattern/loop.

3) it *might* be possible to insert CC7 events and use MIDI volume control 
to "mute" tracks in song mode (i haven't tried this yet) but it would be a 
PITA to unmute tracks when the volumes are not all set to 127.
