They're multiplied up from
  canvas_height = self.canvas.winfo_height()
so I guess mainloop already think it's idle, while grid is still taking
10ms to work out what goes where. It's not a specifically canvas thing,
because to the left of the canvas there is a frame (called trackbar)
which has the same height, and self.trackbar.winfo_height() gives the
same effects.

Your suggestion would also defend me against small screens, or midi-
-files with large numbers of tracks (I'll impose a max_retries)...

Thanks,  Regards,  Peter
