Well, Andreas has just emailed to say that "However, evince 3 depends on GTK 3, which makes no sense to use in a GTK 2 build." So I think we are coming even more quickly to the crunch time - I have just put in a fix that means you can do without the tool tips on menu items - you press f1 while hovering to get the context-sensitive help, but this doesn't work for the explanations about the playback controls etc which are now lost for users of Gtk>3.10 > > > > Any help appreciated - we are going to have to work with Gtk2 more I > > think, as it is stable while Gtk3 is becoming ususable. > > Ok.

I am half joking. yes - GSOC is only useful for a smallish task requiring specialist knowledge that the "student" can bring - otherwise it is a drain on our resources not a gain. > I love the look and feel of gtk but QT is already on mobile platforms. > This is why you can now get musescore for Android or Apple platforms. This is an area I know very little about. I assumed that doing something as complex as creating a music score on a mobile device was a non-starter. But your comment about creating small music exercises while commuting to work has got me wondering. The problem that will arise is that I don't have a mobile device (words like Android have quite a different meaning to me) and so can't help see the way forward here. I do see that the Gtk team are adapting the API to target those devices and causing problems for the older ones.
