There are a lot of great graphics program. I hear over and over the graphics user interface is old and out of date. I'd lover to see how someone who knows new gui's think it should look, and maybe if you understand java you can make it so it has nice menus that pull down and stuff. I know the current one does that in a very old fashioned way. I suspect someone like Super Mario will do a Victor Borge type of thing at the start and talk with a funny accent and change outfits when the style changes. We are Canadian so don't expect Mexican styles to feature a guy dressed as a gardener, here he picks apples ok?

Now down to the gritty, we need a scrolling piano window, a Lead sheet window, a window for entering notes, one for chords. And we need it to scroll in time and note based lyrics on the window. And a menu for melody manipulation, solos, and the standard File menu and submenus and wait, I'm thinking a program I have does that, with buttons for stuff. I think what they need to do is make fancy wee radio buttons at the top that say whatever based on what you choose, so that if you put a fiddle on the piano track instead of saying piano it says fiddle, on the button not underneath. Now that we have that tackled we can do it for each of the buttons, and each is a feature and each sub-feature. Cool. Let's charge 99$ for an update. Wait, the program still does the same stuff, is it legal to make people pay more for it? Hey the car industry does it.
