[jmsl] Max instrument dimension names

[jmsl at music.columbia.edu]

Hello J

Yes you can add custom dimensions to MaxInstruments, try this:

myMaxInstrument.getDimensionNamespace().setDimensionName(5, "wiggle");
myMaxInstrument.getDimensionNamespace().setLimits(5, 0, 3);
myMaxInstrument.getDimensionNamespace().setDefault(5, 0);    

Remember to leave dimension 4 as it is alrteady defined in 
MaxDimensionNameSpace ("eventflag")... so you should only add custom 
dimensions from 5 on up

Thanks
