  i mean that each level will have a different pace, not that the pace would 
change inside one level - but if you have already started doing so, i guess 
that it might actually be interesting to have that possibility when designing 
the different levels :) In fact, an idea for level design which is based on 
waves just popped into my head, which would make it all sorts of nifty to have 
music which is able to change its mood like that ;) But yes, if it becomes a 
problem, don't worry about it :)
  And as for the block based musical score, that's an absolutely brilliant 
idea! :)
