Re: Pattern duration and: monospace pianoroll?

Off topic buuut - I've always wanted to build a quick interface for
creating GUI's from SC. Something that listens for communication from
sclang and will build up a GUI as needed. Qt is great but I'd love a more
robust implementation which, as you mention, is well outside the scope of
SC.
