Voxengo SPAN - a question

I'm using Voxengo SPAN, and it works great to show the peaks of individual audio tracks.

If I want to compare 2 tracks together though, that I think might be competing for frequency space, I need to have 2 instances of SPAN going, one for each track.   Is there a way to have both tracks showing on the same graph at the same time?

Can SPAN also be used to show the EQ on MIDI tracks, or just for recorded audio tracks?

    IIRC the new version of SPAN (2) can show three tracks simultaneusly. I'm not sure. I have SPAN2 but I haven't used it yet.

    You can almost equally well compare the tracks EQs by simply positioning the instances of SPAN next to eachother.
    You don't put EQ's or analysers on MIDI tracks, because MIDI does not have any frequency to measure. You put the EQ on the audio track that is playing the soft synth.

    he wants to compare 2 tracks. In order to do that send it to a bus and hard pan one track right and one left. I think there is an option in span to show seperate line for left and right. That would allow you to compare the results on the same graph. Personally I would rather have 2 instances up and just watch both.
