it's so funny to me that Audacity is 🤏 this close to actually being a DAW already and just chooses not to be
i wonder if they're actually planning on adding midi editing, recording and synthesis in audacity 4 or if they're just gonna be like “use musescore” which amusingly enough actually has an honest-to-god midi piano roll + velocity editor in it these days
bleh, i was kind of excited about the prospect of contributing to audacity 4's midi support, but it turns out this isn't really open-source software any more in spirit, because large parts of the commit history of the core engine look like this now :(
oh, RETRACTION(?): i think this repo may be a clumsy way of letting audacity 4 depend on a copy of the framework/ subdirectory of the musescore source code without moving that into its own git repo just yet; the musescore variant has real commit history
@hikari Huh, so each of these updates is basically just updating a vendored chunk of the tree?
@misty yeah! i think there might be some small changes here and there to allow it to exist independently, but i suspect they are planning to squash those into one commit once they're done
@jernej__s @misty i would guess they will have no interest in following along with audacity 4 because it's a near-total rewrite i believe
