Hi developers,
My name is Sam, and I’m a first year undergraduate at the
University of Cambridge, currently reading the Computer Science
tripos. I’m interested in applying for a Google Summer of Code
project this year.
I play piano and guitar, and enjoy digital music production. In
the past, I have used Musescore for the purposes of transcribing
music. In my experience, the usability of Musescore (ignoring the
initial learning curve) is somewhat hindered by slightly awkward
navigation, particularly for larger scores. For instance, the
position of the playback head is not always clear.
With this in mind, I was drawn to the suggestion of a timeline
dialog, which provides a chronological overview of the score, and
a means for navigation. One useful addition could be a persistent
playback head displayed on the timeline, which may be dragged
around by the user; currently the playhead on the score disappears
when not in playback.
I believe creating the timeline panel would be completely within
my reach, having previous experience with Qt (albeit using Python
bindings), and also a good knowledge of C++.
I plan on submitting an official proposal later this week, but
have a couple of questions beforehand:
- Will I need to submit a code sample with my application?
If so, what size, language etc.?
- Would the fact that I have not contributed to Musescore in
the past massively damage my application? I have worked on
several projects in the past - both solo and as a team - but
have never been involved in an established open source project.
Thanks and kind regards,
Sam Hubbard
