At first: lol.

Secondly, I really appreciate your work and I would never complain about 
anything
concerning your dedication or how fast some tool gets developed.

I wanted to pick up that exact sentence as an example and I was glad to 
see that you removed it.

A quick "an open-source audio/midi sequencer & score editor" would be 
enough. In
my oppinion. This way, you don't get in trouble being compared to such a 
tool like Cubase,
since this is like comparing apples and oranges.

I cannot say anything about that, but I think this thought is very 
interesting.

Thanks for you comment.
