We discussed this a bit back, trying to decide if it's worth it or not, with 
Hydrogen already a good drum editor, and with our ability to import Hydrogen 
patterns and...  Whatever the thing that assembles the patterns into 
something is.  Songs?  I think we can import Hydrogen songs.  I haven't 
actually checked into that yet, and it's a loose end I need to tie up.

There was talk of a special drum clef, and of doing drum maps to map out keys 
to particular drums.  There's all kinds of stuff we could do, and I'm mildly 
interested.  I really don't use Hydrogen for much except making noise, and 
I'd rather do it with Rosegarden.  Then again, I can hear Rich screaming 
about monolithic applications and redundant effort already.

So I'd say the door is open a crack, but not very far.  For my own part, I'm 
looking at wanting to improve mid-composition program changes, some key 
notation features (that NoteEdit has, and we don't), and better audio file 
management.  That's about it for tall orders I can think of really.  
Rosegarden is pretty satisfactory to use already, and I did use the same 
buggy version of Cakewalk for 10 years.  I'm quickly reaching a point where 
I'm not all that interested in trying to change things because what we've got 
is really pretty damn good.

I think the core developers got there a long time ago.
