; Audio Selection Sequencer 2 by David R. Sky, August 29, 2007
; much improved over seq1b.ny from Dec. 17, 2004
; sequences mono or stereo audio selection in Audacity
; can also pan stereo selection for each note
; can also transpose successive sequences
; Thanks to feedback from Edgar Franke, Martyn Shaw - 
; for Nyquist code pointers and visual layout
;
; I have been careful to unbind symbols and functions when no longer needed,
; to hopefully avoid problem[s] encountered 
; in previous long Nyquist plug-ins
