Enhancements

[ubizmo]

As a new guy, I shouldn't be offereing suggestions.  I'm nowhere near knowing how to take full advantage of what's already here.

Nevertheless...

I see that the most frequent request is for more than five pages.  Yes, I do understand that there are ways to work around this limit, but I wonder what the reason is why more pages haven't been added.  It doesn't seem that it would be a huge programming task.  It might, however, be a bandwidth issue.  More pages might mean more lengthy and complex compositions, which could be a strain on the system.  As a kind of halfway offering, a couple of "special" pages could be added.  I think many people may "burn" a page making a short intro, and another page on a short finish.  There could be two dedicated non-repeating pages for these purposes: an intro page an a closing page.  These would only be usable at the beginning and end, once (if used at all).  So at most they'd add two pages to a piece.

My second idea would involve a lot of production.  I'm not sure what the correct terminology is, but I'm going to refer to the various instrument samples as "styles."  So for each instrument in your composition you choose one style per page, currently.  My idea is to have a "variation" for each style.  It would be similar to the main style, but would include some added embellishments.  The user would then be able to choose either the main style or variation on a measure-by-measure basis.  The variation would break things up and add interest.  Obviously, creating all those variations in the first place would be a lot of work.

And why is there no "null chord," i.e., a possibility of putting a full-measure rest anywhere? I know others have asked about this.

Good points all!

I would settle for providing a more user-freindly way that all-access members could "link" their songs end to end and automatically load the previous/next song accordingly.

I would also like to see the various panes (i.e., Sounds, Chords, etc.) be resizeable and/or collapsible and not just moveable.  If they would remember their locations/placement on next login would be nice as well.

The ability to personalize a workspace with graphics/annotations associated with the song in progress.  The notes are a good start, but a way to type in some lyrics directly on the score would be better.
