I am sure such a function will never appear in any office suite. The 
only way that any software will ever be offered is if a company that 
makes software for musicians decides that there is enough of a market 
for it to pay for its development, or if a musician who also dabbles in 
computer programming decides to spend the time writing it for his or her 
own use, and then makes it available FOSS for others. But as part of an 
office suite, I seriously doubt it will ever happen.
