Most of these items are or will be on the to-do list. #6 should have been
implemented a while ago; if it's not working, that's a bug. The issue in #10
is that some people will never discover the predefined alternative tunings
if they're not presented with these tunings up front.

Hi Utku, thanks for replying. I don't know if you are
interested, but I am willing to contribute to a bounty fund
for feature requests if at least one other person is willing
to match contributions (Oz?).

Ah sorry, I didn't retest it in a while. However I can't
get it to work now. But probably I'm forgetting something
about how to apply the tunings. The tuning dialog is
really hard to use, and at the moment I can't even figure
out how to select the measure I want to change. I am used
to having a cursor/select tool.

Again, these should be in a user library, not in the
scores themselves. If you adopt the two-pane view I
suggested earlier, they will always be visible on the
left and available to add to a score.

Hi Carl,
Nihavent may turn into commerical software at some point. At the same time,
there are other projects that I have to concentrate on in the coming months,
so I won't make any promises I can't keep. But if you insist on putting a
bounty on my head I won't stop you.

For applying tunings, you need to select the Tuning and Key Signature option
under the Key & Rhythm tool and just click a bar.
