Hi Janet,
First, make sure you read
https://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/google-summer-code/steps-toward-successful-application
Next, the deadline for GSoC student application is on march 25th, so you
need to hurry up if you want to participate to GSoC.
Of course, you can also contribute to MuseScore development when you want!
Your own ideas are often the best ones so I will comment on these.
5/ Integration with PD is the way you describe it is probably more a PD
project. If your PD patches could export MIDI or MusicXML then MuseScore
could import them.
4/ I'm always interested to find out what MuseScore lacks for higher music
education. It seems that the tools you describe could be useful to many.
You should work further on this idea and be more specific on what music
theory tasks MuseScore could help with.
