Set your bump level to 0, -bump => 0

However, you might night to devise a way to distinguish between the
separate features (aligments) then since they will connect with eachother.

You can use a code reference to give individual features different colours
(if you are not using the glyph that colour grades them by default), or
change the glyph itself if for example the individual aligment is tiny
compared to the region you want to display.


e.g. in your add_track

-glyph => sub {
		my $feature = shift;

		return ($feature->length < XX) ? "diamond" : "line";
	}

where XX is a variable that determines when something is 'tiny' compared
to your region.
