This is good advice. Lilypond, Rosegarden, NoteEdit, CMN, abc, Guido,
all represent different approaches to notation software, and all of them
could use some development assistance.
However, it won't hurt to address a message *as a group* to commercial
software developers.
And such messages should certainly be sent to hardware (soundcard/audio
