:-)

And Han Wen wrote the original octave check for me! Because I think I 
had exactly the problem Kieren is moaning about - I put a fragment of 
music in a variable, and because it started and finished over a 5th 
apart, I had great difficulty getting the phrase to repeat correctly. 
That was back in the 2.4/2.6 days ...
