Splitter: A Bars and Pipes Professional accessory for splitting one
	track into many.

Copyright: See the copyright notice in splitter.c.

Requirements for running:
	Bars and Pipes Professional

Requirements for recompiling:
	DICE (or some other C compiler)
	bars.h and toolstart.c from the Rules for Tools kit.
	
Usage:
	Run Bars and Pipes

	Load a song.
	Select a track to be split.

	Install the Splitter in the Accessories window.
	Open the Splitter.
	Click ``Split Selected Track''.

	Your track will be split into a number of tracks, each containing
	the events for a single MIDI note number. Tracks will only be
	created for MIDI note numbers that occur in the original track.
	Each new track of MIDI note events is named for the note that
	it contains.

	Another	track for non-note MIDI events will be created if needed.

	If you prefer, you can use a ``note map'' to supply names to the
	newly created tracks. Note maps are created by the Pattern tool
	when you're using Drum Map mode. These can be saved to disk,
	and then be loaded into the Splitter using the
	``Load Notemap from File'' gadget. Load the note map before
	splitting the track.

Useful for:
	Splitting a drum track into individual instruments for separate
	processing.
