Part of this work is to just display a diagram above the piano music. This is a purely visible part of the work. We are basically asking rosegarden to please print a fancy guitar tab diagram above the measure we want. > OTOH if you're aiming at writing guitar music, that's another matter.

The second half and more longer term project is to have so that I can have guitar sheet music. So that want I take worship music that is played at church and create a piece of guitar sheet music. Often there is just a rhythm along with the chord to be play that needs to be written on a piece of sheet music. So that way when I am at home trying to remember what rhythm is supposed to be played I can read it. In working on this I wondered if rosegarden could take this same music and a MIDI guitar from my soundcard and play the music back for me. This would be a great learning aid to play along with rosegarden. > > In my diagram I sought to clean up the Event class. What I did was: > > I'm not going to comment on infrastructure stuff. Not my bailiwick. Whose bailiwick is the infrastructure? Some how at this point I have a nasty feeling like I am volunteering. Stephen
