Kurt,

You may want to check out GarageBand on the Mac side that comes with the iLife software from Apple. I have been playing with it for a few months now and find it incredibly easy to use but full of powerful features. The reason I mention this is that the music notation aspect of it is very easy to use and might be of use to you. Of course it is not available for Windows and I doubt it will be in the future so your cross platform app might be very useful.

I'm looking for an efficient way to do the following:
1) I have a collection of about 50 very small graphics (b&w).
2) I'd trap keystrokes to set the cursor to a miniature representation of one of the above graphics. 3) Subsequent clicking on a "canvas" would create and place a copy of the keystroke-chosen graphic at the clicked location. 4) The location of the graphic now placed in step 3 can be tweaked with mouse or arrow keys.
5) Creation of arcs (music slurs and ties)
6) Creation of music "beams" for 8th and 16th notes, etc.

I'm especially interested in suggestions for step 3, but all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


I have received over the years dozens of requests for an OSX- compatible pen-and-paper style music notation program similar to an admittedly amateurish one I developed in Supercard many years ago. I'm sure I can do better this time around, and release it for OSX, Windows and UNIX as well!


thank you,
Kurt
