I answered you.  Did it not make it to the list?  I never see any of my own 
posts on the list, even when they do make it through.  I have no idea why.

I've been having all kinds of annoying email problems trying to keep up with 
these lists.

We switched to Subversion last week.

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk rosegarden

I have no idea.  Probably none of us do.  Guillaume and Chris use xemacs, I 
use vim.  Scons is controlled primarily through scons_admin/sound.py and 
maybe other .py files.  They're Python scripts, and it's not too hard to 
figure out how to accomplish things, even if you don't know Python.  (Which I 
don't.)  Though I don't guess I've actually added a new source file to this 
build system.  New data files, yes.

Correct.

I'm going to have to skip this and go to work.  I do want to throw out one 
thing while you're in the planning stages.  We really do need to try to make 
everything possible exportable to Lilypond.  I have no idea off hand what 
Lilypond can do in the way of tab, but I think our own tab feature should 
ideally be constructed in such a way that it is exportable.  It's probably 
easier to ensure this up front than to write a tab feature and then figure 
out what parts of it can translate into Lilypond.  Though you may be free to 
ignore all this if Lilypond's tab is really crappy and useless, or if they 
have a habit of changing everything about it with every release, making for a 
nightmare of chasing a moving target.

I have no idea what the answers to any of these questions are, but it's worth 
investigating ahead of time IMHO.
