There's a problem there, which is related to why split fades are 
implemented oddly.  Every cuestep in the LanBox is fixed size -- one 
command byte and 6 data bytes -- and it's very difficult to change this 
at this point.  Hence all the parameters for a split fade couldn't fit 
in one step, and likewise we can't fit longer comments (nor a richer 
character set) in a single cuestep.

I realize that internal constraints like these ought not be put in the 
user's face, but we currently have no easy way around it.
