Why should (G_OBJECT(BtSong)->ref_count > 1) ?

BtPattern & BtSetup do *not* need a reference on BtSong if
BtPattern & BtSetup *belong* to BtSong.

- App creates (and "owns") BtSong
  - BtSong creates (and "owns") BtPattern
  - BtSong creates (and "owns") BtSetup

- App unref's BtSong
  - BtSong unref's BtPattern
  - BtSong unref's BtSetup
