Looking back at what I said needed fixing before it was midly usable (Aug 2012):
Other enhancements I've thought would be useful while using it:
create capability to change point size in use on the notescreate separate capability to change point size in use on text objectsFix printing logic so it scales appropriately and doesn't do crazy things with landscape modeRests - large omission, as most scores have a rest in them!- Cut, Copy & Paste
- Undo
- Fixing file open so it doesn't pop a new window
- Fixing the exit without saving logic
- Toolbar buttons to make entering widgets easier
Other enhancements I've thought would be useful while using it:
- make backspace delete the note immediately before it, or if none, reposition cursor immediately after the preceeding note such that another backspace would delete it. Makes it feel more like a word processor when entering notes using the keyboard
- allow selections to be made in block mode ie, draw a rectangle and select everything in the rectangle, rather than everything between the first note in the rectangle and the last
- fix where text annotations get positioned after load from file
- fix such that text annotations always float in front of manuscripts
- implement a bar line with two thin vertical bars
- make ties terminate above the note head rather than directly on them
- fix where the group factor (eg the 3 in a triplet) is drawn within the tie
- make the tie more of an arc with pointed ends and thicker middle, ie improve the look of it
- create an option to use parallelograms for note heads rather than ovals (let's call it the Heppy look lol)
- flams seem to float a long way from the note head, bring them in
- tails on non-beamed quavers (and smaller) could be better looking, ie more of a swirl to them
- implement treble clef, bass clef signs
- use double slashes through the stem of a note to show rolls rather than one slash
- improve look of semibreve and minim notes
- improve look of crotchet rest
- fix drum note widths as sometimes unison overlaps or leaves spaces, especially when zooming
- make the unison highlighting go all the way to the bottom of a note stem, ie deeper box
- figure out what to do when it get's crowded above a note, tie, accent flam
- implement actions to half a notes duration or double it, preserving grace notes and other attributes
- implement action to align all bar lines to top line, and/or space bar lines equally on a line
- make some use of the variables captured, ie author, title, band etc
- implement pictures for band logos etc
- implement handling of whitespace when reading xml scores in, so they can be formatted to be more human friendly when saved
- fix the bug in ligature drawing where the cut note, or shorter note extra tail doesn't get rendered when beamed both ways
