Ahh. I was using the sequencer with just 3 insts spanning the height of my
screen so I saw that as wasted vertical space. In seesaw, how would you
specify an alternate layout to use when space is limited? It would be nice
to be able to fill the space when it's available and sqaush it all down
into a single menu when it's not. Is there an event to listen for? It
would be easy enough to just let the user choose between the compact layout
or the expanded layout, but I've been enjoying the dynamic nature of the
display so far.
