I like this. It will be a lot of work, but it will be worth it. I wish I could help more, but with a very limited knowledge of C++ there's not much I can do in that field. I'm still glad to help where I can.
Tres, I like the idea that the program won't crash when an incompatible file is opened. A great thing to add to that is to be able to recognize the pre-2.0 format and inform the user that the file is from an outdated version of LMMS. Not sure if that's worth the work though. Just a thought. Again, I appreciate LMMS very much and am glad to help where I can. If there's anything I can do, let me know.
