A first attempt at creating some software requirements for discussion

Required	Suggested	Nice to have
User can open/import a MIDI file	MIDI track can be displayed for verification MIDI track can be transposed MIDI track can be edited e.g notes moved, added, deleted MIDI track can be played Similar functionality to the this: Musicboxmaniacs Create	MIDI instrument can be chosen for playback
User can export to a file format suitable for laser cutting	User can define dimensions for: Strip width Note distance Hole dimensions User can indicate where to cut/join strips User can select location for file export	User can choose between different strip types e.g 15, 20, 30 notes (other) User can choose different file formats DXF SVG PDF Image GCode

Terrific!

The super-first attempt could be a midi file with only one track, with 3 notes, like C, D, E.

In the beginning we can see in plain text on the web page:

• the midi events and the note of these events (MIDI have 2 events per note, one when the note starts, and one when the note ends) [we will only use the event "note start", since the music box doesn't have a note duration ^_^ ]
• the timestamp of these events (when they happens in the "timeline")

then...

• with a graphic library (i think SVG could be a good first attempt, 'cause is well supported by browsers) put some circle inside a rectangle, on the screen!
