MusE Sequencer

I'm one of the developers of the MusE Sequencer (GitHub).

MusE is a Music Editor written for Linux and aims to be a fully featured digital audio workstation (DAW). MusE's features include:

Features

Playing back, recording, editing MIDI
MIDI file import/export
Piano Roll, Drum Roll, Score Editor and Eventlist editors
Playing back, recording, and limited editing of audio/wave data
auto-adjusting your wave files to fit your song's tempo (time-stretching without altering pitch, using RubberBand)
Uses JACK and JACK's transport mechanism, for integration with other audio applications
Supports various effects and software syntesizers (LADSPA, DSSI, VST, VSTi)

My contributions

I'm at the project since 2011. My most notable contributions (among various fixes etc) include:

The Score Editor as of MusE 2.0 and later
Audio time-stretching to fit into the song's tempo (still work in progress)
Overall better MIDI vs Wave integration
Speed fixes
New, cleaner design of some internal structures

I also migrated the whole project over to GitHub. Read the linked article for why and how.

Things to do

MusE is far from being complete. While it is already a great tool, the development team is still rather small, and we're struggling getting all the bugs fixed, and new features implemented.

Our to do list includes:

Documentation. A handbook. Tutorials.
A easy to use in-program help system
Code cleanup
Redesign GUI
Automation controller rework
Social services, like sharing places for the users' music
Providing example music, loops, instruments, etc

Getting involved
