Yeah, I did the "assign keys to flourishes thing" right away. I'm don't really care (much) about the xp; I'm just trying to get some interesting music out of the system. It's kind of interesting, as an example, that a flourish macro sometimes sounds good with one song (rock, or folk, say) and notso-hotso with, say, starwars3. But now I can get the whole flourish-series song down as a macro. Next step: more complicated song structures, then (once I get to the non-wind instruments) maybe lyrics. Thanks again for all the help!

Don't overlook the fact that you can band flourish and you can direct the band flo's at specific instruments. I keep a playback droid with bandfill for my favorite songs on it (well actually 3 droids and all but rock recorded). You use /bandflourish just like /flourish where you put the flourish number after the command. Now everyone in the group will play the same flourish. You can also /bandflourish 3 fizz and only the fizz will play that flourish. You can shorten the command to /b but that can break if they add a new command starting with B in the future. You can also stack these so that different instruments can do different flourishes all at the same time. If you /flourish first you can take lead since it overrides any bandflo that follows. To make this clear consider the following (assuming you are playing a mando).

/flourish 5;

/bandflourish 1 mandoviol;

/bandflourish 3 bandfill;

Ok now you will play flourish 5, all other mandos will play flourish 1 and the bandfills will play flourish 3. It makes for some very interesting combinations.

Also on the /b for "/bandflourish", you can also abbreviate the instrument to a single letter except Fizzz and Fanfar that you have to use 2....

so...

/bandflourish 6 mandoviol

can be simplified to....

/b 6 m

Enjoy!

And there is also /pausemusic, which is basically a single "null" flourish. You won't be playing any sound for the single flourish. I like throwing that in every now and then to add some variety to a jam band (ie not bandflourising).

I just wish there was a /bandpausemusic so one instrument could solo easily in a group setting.
