In the blender model,

• strings should be objects (parented on the violin body)
• the fingers should be parented on each string
• the top and bottom of the string should be in independent vertex groups, so that the fingers can be calculated from them.

This way, the finger-position (and bow-position, incidentally) will be more robust, and can also survive having multiple violins in the same scene. That could be great when doing violin duet music. :)

I should add a debug target environment. The old makefile had them, and it was useful a few times.

... with loads of errors about subdir-objects not being in force.

Solution: add subdir-objects to the arguments of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in configure.ac

.actions files should have a way to switch between camera, i.e.
camera 7.25 2

• add to unit test
• make blender python scripts read these values and switch the active camera
• make sure that models have cameras named "camera-X" where X is an integer.

Reports from Macros (evidently using a different version of scons)

• he had to install fftw-3.

  GP: I'm quite surprised about this... other parts of Vivi need it, but I didn't think that anything in Artifastring needed fftw. I'll have to try duplicating this error myself.

• scons: warning: The build_dir keyword has been deprecated; use the
  variant_dir keyword instead

  GP: I'll need to check if this works on my version of scons, or else upgrade, or something.

• scons: *** [build/swig/_monowav.so] Source file: swig/monowav.i is static
  and is not compatible with shared target: build/swig/_monowav.so
  scons: building terminated because of errors.

  GP: ouch, I don't know what's happening here. Or rather, this message generally happens when you forget about -fPIC, but I've got that. Maybe the other version of scons loses the environment variables?!

  I'll have to come back to this later.

despite having both /usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a and /opt/local/lib/libfftw3.a I get the error

checking for main in -lfftw3f... no
configure: error: requires libfftw3

Vivi now (well, when I next push) writes .action files that occasionally use a startskip and stopskip "action". These should be added to artifastring.

In the blender output, any file with a skip/stop should produce a visible change... maybe turn the background red or something?
