Wow...

good job.

About that "sheet music"; can you also *play* the music somehow (e.g. simple piano midi instrument), or is it "read only"? (yes I know Koffice is not a music composer program...)

well, you may need an instrument to play, and of course you need to actually _read_ what's written on the sheet. (sorry.. couldn't resist)

That sounds like a job for Rosegarden to me, not KOffice. However, maybe it's possible to interface with Rosegarden for this purpose?

    Maybe phonon can play a major advanteg in stuff like that. It can be integrated quite easy into your existing code.
    If koffice could actually READ the notes, it shouldn't be such a big problem. I like the idea that koffice can play the song you made up. I hope it will be implemented.

    The ability to import snippets of music from something like Rosegarden would be useful. Whether that is better implemented as a KOffice import or a Rosegarden export, I'm not sure.

    Does it spell-check your musical score, putting red squiggly lines under out of key notes?

      I don't think there is a way for a computer to know whether a score is 'right' or 'wrong'... or were you joking? :|

    Rosegarden can do MusicXML... I guess that would make interfacing easier?

    Basically just a play button and perhaps an instrument chooser would suffice.
