I never did any real GUI programming at all before Rosegarden. That's the easy side of it. Don't worry. > (2) Learning the code base could be a daunting and tedious task.

Let me know what you guys > think. I am very serious about getting something like this implemented. You lost me when you said the word "equation." I flunked math. Basically, it sounds plausible, and sounds like a "send us the patch" kind of feature. If you can pull it off, I'm sure we'll fit it in. Hell, we have one branch where they're doing some kind of weird quarter-tone pitch tracking hobbledyjibber that's ten light years over my head. We've got another branch where a contributor like you're thinking to become is working on some guitar chord stuff that looks cool. There's room for everybody, and everybody has a chance of getting their stuff merged into mainstream Rosegarden once it's up to par. However, we don't have a lot of spare time to devote to helping people with pet projects like this, so you can expect a minimum of hand holding along the way. Get something together, we'll almost certainly throw it into a branch where you can play with it further, and then worry about merging it later down the road, when the time comes. Also, do feel absolutely free to work on more meat and potatoes issues. The bugs list is fair game. Most of the higher-priority feature requests are too. Plenty to do, not enough manpower, so join the party. Put future proposals in patch form, and we'll get along fine. Patches speak so much more loudly than words. -- D.
