That is what Michelle originally tried to propose here, a while ago -- I think the present tablature editor is being suggested as a simpler and less controversial alternative (the previous discussion having run aground on the details rather). > First of all (even without thinking about the tab) i think the > notation-editor should contain a menu (ex. view->segments) that opens a > dialog from which you choose which segments to show. There is some related discussion, with diagrams, archived on the wiki -- see http://rosegarden.wiki.sourceforge.net, Development -> "Score editing, not just notation editing" -- at least I think that's where it is, I'm working offline at the moment. The principle was that rather than showing a raw set of segments, a notation view would be a view of a "score", where a score is a set of tracks that have a particular relationship to one another defined in staff terms. There could be any number of scores associated with a given composition -- for example, an instrumental part might have a particular track at the top in a larger typeface, with some other tracks below it in a smaller face; while a part for a different instrument might reverse the order. These scores would be relevant for printing (for example through Lilypond) as well -- you could ask to print the part "scores" for instruments A, B, and C, all from the same composition. A "guitar score" view of a composition might show the same track twice, once in classical notation and once in tablature (or whatever you like -- I'm not a guitarist). A multi-part vocal staff might appear within a score by means of having several tracks mapped onto the same staff. You would presumably create and edit a score using a dialog a bit like a fancier version of the example you just gave. Presumably, if you just selected a set of segments and opened them in a notation view, in the way you do now, you'd get a sort of automatically created score with just those segments in it in identical staffs... I don't know. Anyway, it's all pie in the sky -- the wiki page is new and open to further annotation, but the original content is getting old and nothing has happened in implementation terms yet. It's just food (mmm, pie) for thought at the moment.
