View Full Version : Genereal guidance for developing a (simple) musical notation/tablature editor

Hey guys,

I'm trying to find out what the best approach to writing a basic editor for musical notation or guitar tabs would be, using Qt. Can someone give me a general hint which one of Qt's subsystems is the best base to build upon or what the general way would be?

I started off looking into the Graphics View Framework, but it seems a bit too complex for me as a beginner and I'm not even sure if this is the way to go.

At the moment, I'm playing around with the Model/View Framework, using a simple table, which works just fine data wise, but I have no idea if it is possible to extend one of the basic View classes into something like a graphics based note/tablature editor... what do you think?

Cheers
