I'm not completely sure, but I guess you're right. I found kepler too,
but was uncertain, I thought the fork isn't Qt based, but most likely
I'm mistaken. When searching for e.g. gseq, I found something completely
different.

Qtractor can be used to compose and arrange by different approaches, I'm
not missing a work-flow, just a few features. For the different
approaches I use, it works very good. Either I have an idea and compose
in a more or less classical way or I tinker, hard worded, if following
this approach, the idea is vague or I've got no idea at all and might
not really know what I'm doing, compared with the classical approach.
IMO Qtractor is usable for both, the classical musician and the
completely clueless trial and error composer. YMMV!

Ralf
