I think I'm going to get it done first, and worry about nice things like that if people ask for them later. So my current immediate plan is to forget about the styles-like mechanism, and get this done by writing a cheap little script to convert a plain text .conf-like file to generated C++ code at build time; something similar to how UIC converts QT Designer files into code at build time. That doesn't lend itself to some kind of "remember this" editable paradigm at all, but such an editable paradigm frankly involves a ton of work. Inventing a new file format with a new MIME type, a place to put system files of this type, a place to put user files, code to install all of this stuff, code to save and read it. It probably takes an hour if you already know how to do all of that, but I'd have to figure so much out from scratch that it feels like a mountain. Maybe somebody else can do that later. The most important thing is to get something working at all. I have the track level transpose property working now. The others are all going to be harder, but doable. Divide and conqueror. (Actually, I have it working, but I'm not sure if it gets saved and re-loaded. Probably not. There sure are a lot of divisions to conqueror with this work. I'm out of my mind for trying to do this.) > I'd be happy to help, my time is a bit limited though. I've just gotten a message from someone who used to teach instrumentation, who has volunteered to help with assembling this database. As you would expect, I have graciously accepted this offer of assistance! I hope we can come up with something extensive enough to forestall user criticism about how the facility can't be customized (yet?). -- D.
