Question: Singing with the Music 5000

I sing with a group of friends, two of whom play the piano accompaniments, but I have performed a John Dowland song with 'lute' accompaniment, using the following instrument:

2 CHANS

1 CHAN

Bright Flat Long

2 CHAN

Reedy Flat Percuss

128 AMP

EVERY CHAN

ON PHSET

It works quite well if the volume is not too high. I start with an arpeggio in the correct key followed by ON PAUSE until a function key, defined with OSCLI to give OFF PAUSE, is pressed to start the song.

The problem with a performance version is that you have to write in the Tempo and Loudness variations, and the performance becomes a bit rigid. Has anyone any ideas to enable the singer to adjust these during the performance?
