Problem with template class ?

I'm assuming this problem is happening because the classes are template classes. Here's a cut-down version of the code that's giving me the problem:-

Code:

---

template<typename Time> class Note;

template<typename Time>
class Sequence : virtual public ControlSet {
public:
        // c'tors etc

public:
        struct EarlierNoteComparator {
                inline bool operator()(const boost::shared_ptr< const Note<Time> > a,
                                      const boost::shared_ptr< const Note<Time> > b) const {
                        return musical_time_less_than (a->time(), b->time());
                }
        };

        typedef typename boost::shared_ptr<Evoral::Note<Time> >  NotePtr;

        typedef std::multiset<NotePtr, EarlierNoteComparator> Notes;

        void set_notes (const Sequence<Time>::Notes& n);
};

---

Basically, the above code compiles with gcc but when I try to compile it with MSVC (version 8) I get this error at the red line:-

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Notes'

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Looks like a case where you need to disambiguate with typename, e.g.,

Code:

---

void set_notes (const typename Sequence<Time>::Notes& n);

Thanks Laserlight, you just beat me to it (I just found the same result purely by trial and error!)
