[Denemo-devel] libDenemo

[Nils Gey]

Hi list,

I just remembered a talk from a while back about the GUI of Denemo and 
different interfaces. Just now I had a talk in #denemo about Denemo on MacOS 
which needs X11 and is clumsy. I rememberd that Ardour tried to get rid of X11 
in MacOS, too. And there was this small discussion about Denemo on a 
NintendoDS, as Notepad for Notation.

Many (open source) apps are diveded in frontend and backend. Of course for a 
notation-editor this makes no primary sense because having a GUI is a central 
point. But even here it would have some benefits like having special GUIs for 
different purposes which are more then just command-sets. 

Linuxsampler for example has a QT and a JAVA GUI, Ardour has a stripped-down 
GUI for educational use. 

Even on a command line you could do batch-conversion or other Denemo-tasks 
which don't need a GUI.

To come to the core of this:

Do you think it would be a benefit to change Denemo to a Backend/Frontend 
architecture?
