• Notes aren't being displayed during Keyboard recording
• Csound server uses cpu cycles when idle
• Need to move window on startup to show notes
• Send note offs for tied notes when stop is clicked
• don't popup so many generate windows (when you click generate several times)
• Close mic recording window using the 'x' button, reopen it (it's tiny and empty!)
