Description
Message List Displays messages, obviously, newest messages at the top. If a message refers to a specific object, double clicking the message will select that object and open the Main dialog if it's not already open. Shift + double-click to clear the list.
Status Bar The numbers at the bottom left show the number of objects in the anti-flam and work lists. If they don't revert to zero when everything is stopped then something is wrong somewhere. One cause of an expanding work list is Events waiting for note-offs when no note-offs are coming.
