Genome Progress 3

Today I got the navigational buttons working. Genome will feature a navigational method that should be very familiar to anyone who has ever browsed a website. There will be a left nav bar listing all the "sibling" modules and a "bread crumb" style bar listing the current path. This paradigm is even used in Windows vista's directory explorer, and I think it has proven to be an efficient way to to navigate hierarchical data such as a disk directory, XML, web page, etc.. It should allow you to get anywhere in the song in 1 or 2 clicks. An efficient workflow is very important for any creative tool as it affects how quickly you can get your ideas down. It also affects the level of frustration for users trying to find what they are looking for. A familiar interface should make it easy for new users to get started.
