pianist's needs

[Tim MacEachern]

I like the thrust of your notation software.  As a pianist, I'd like to make a
comment on what I would like to see.  Although the traditional method of marking
accidentals works, it can be time-consuming to figure out whether a note is to
be played as an accidental and this is often time a pianist does not have.  I'd
like to have my music all colour coded:  naturals should be in black, sharps in
some other colour, perhaps red, and flats in maybe green (double sharps and
flats are rare and could be done in black or a different colour).  Then I would
not have to figure things out.  This colour coding could be added to normal
notation without changing the traditional aspects.

As an alternative to colour coding, it might be possible for the note heads to
be different shapes for accidentals.  These differences might be too small to
notice at pace though.
