Well why not just offer to help us (Rosegarden) out instead of starting
yourself from scratch? There are many many music projects that have
been started with few enough ever coming to fruition without
potentially wasting more effort. We're still in development and open to
ideas and we'd be most interested to hear your specific comments.

You're using Rosegarden-4 I take it? Have you played about with
quantizing of your recorded MIDI a little and see how that affects the
score on the screen? Do you really think the notation layout is
unattractive? It's true that our printing facilities are a bit limited
at the moment but again if you want it sooner then please pitch in.

There's a reason it's open-source you know?
