I am also very impressed with Music-X. Since I am still putting
together my MIDI system, I haven't actually used it for anything
but playing the Amiga sound channels, but I think I have gotten
a good feel for how it works.

The one thing I would really like is to make the bar editor
easier to use for composition (not just editing). In particular,
I would like to enter events with duration (such as notes) by
pressing the mouse button at the start of the event and releasing
the mouse button at the end. For me, the perfect interface for this
component would resemble a paint program. I realize that composition
was not the intended use of the bar editor, but I think that this
approach would not impare event editing, and would provide a very
usefull new dimension to Music-X.
