Hi Mark, Mike... ,

“The "metaphor" of a mixer board doesn't speak to me at all, nor the vast majority of everyday musicians who use Notation Composer.”

” I agree that a mixer board for entry/control does not really translate to a computer screen. Ones I have seen before tend take up a lot of space, and using sliders and/or knobs with a mouse is always very clumsy and inaccurate. I think if you are going to have a mixer control, that you should not remove the existing mechanisms for entering of these controls.”

I disagree and so would the very large majority of users of music production software.

Composer is notation software, but users want a lot more of Composer, then just the notation equivalent of a word processor. Users also want to actually produce a sound track as best as is possible.

My view is that the notation part of composer is most important, but it also needs to have detailed support for sound. There have been lots of discussions in the past, on how to improve on sound creation. Some of the suggestions were to improve the precision of graph over notes, to include more detailed mixer components in the notation window, a mixer window, etc.

The question is not so much of what we, the Composer users want, but when it will be available.

Best wishes,

Herbert
