I see.  Again, the problem is in the score pane.  These should be
fairly easy to fix, I think.

Perhaps.  In any case, if the output recording of the score pane
avoids linear behavior, I think the problem will go away.

That might improve things, but (as is often the case) improving the
high-level algorithm is going to be an order of magnitude more
spectacular.
