         * and stopped recording.
         *
         * After recording you will need to supply a name for the new @ref
         * Phrase and then have it inserted into the @ref Song.
         *
         * The job of this helper class is to aid this process. The lifetime
         * of the objects involved are managed, and the actions needed are
         * encapsulated in these methods.

         * It is assumed that neither the @ref Transport object or the
         * @ref MidiScheduler object will be deleted from under the Recording
         * object's feet.
