* Interface to a reference-copy ("ghost") of a Part.

* Ghosts appear as Parts in the Tracker-view, but do not contain their own
* events. Instead, Ghosts are internally linked to the origial Part from which
* they have been created. They represent the original Part transparently, but
* are not editable themselves. All changed applied to the original Part will
* immediately take effect on Ghosts also.
*
* (Currently only implemented for MidiParts.)
