Subject: Funky subtune trouble

I'm having odd problems with wotw's 'Leave Me Alone'. It lists 34 subtunes, and having listened to it (haven't opened it up in Milkytracker yet) I've got a feeling UADE thinks every pattern starts a new subtune, which plays to the end.

While it is interesting to start the tune at different points, it's very annoying.
ftp://ftp.modland.com/pub/modules/Protracker/wotw/leave%20me%20alone.mod

Is this a bad rip?  Is thus UADE messing up? Or is this wotw messing around in Protracker because he can?

I loaded it up in Milkytracker and I'm thinking it's one of the latter two.  

It took me a while to guess what the effects did, but it looks like UADE is creating a new subtune at every Bxx skip-to-order command (some bits are in 3/4 time, others times... no apparent reason), possibly because a.) there's always data after the Bxx command; b.) he completely skips over a few orders.

Yes, I know the case. It is a subsong detection heuristics problem.

You could do

uade --set=one_subsong &quot;mod.leave me alone.mod&quot;

after which it should play correctly. The info will be recorded into ~/.uade2/song.conf. You can remove it later by --set= foo.mod or just remove the line from song.conf.
