For now, it uses k2, ignoring Seq2. Occam's razor. Simplest solution. The first one unless the user selects the second group and this is "remembered" in memory for the duration of the session or the user changes it again. Certainly better than showing two groups but only allowing selection of first group. > > This problem is not *that* fundamental when two sequences share the same > k0 state, because it's more likely that this state won't change.
