This page has approximately dates and major features to be implemented upon this date.

After 1.0 release, non-critical "cool" features

This is a list of "cool" features which would be awesome to be supported in the future:

  • Break Canorus into separated modules and libraries (e.g. to easily integrate score view in another Qt app)
  • Intelligent score source view.
  • Show current selection only like in Blender using / key.
  • Bookmark support inside the score and shown bookmarks below the horizontal slider for faster pickup.
  • Modern contemperament notation. Preferebly drawing support or import of vector graphics.
  • 3D score viewport.
  • Rubato rhythm and conducting features (something like tempo envelope for a single voice).
  • Rendering of neums, kievan notes and other styles of music.
  • Text->Speech singing of notes
  • Open engraver engine somehow, so the scripts could change the way notes are rendered.
  • Provide [http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio/aeolus.html Aeolus] and other specialized or GM synthesizers for playback.
