colored con/dissonances #5

Open setchemist opened 13 years ago

main idea: to show the interactions between notes by color signs. this is especially useful for writing the highly polyphonic themes, and for people with impaired ability to hear the con/dissonances (like me).

While all the notes are shown in tracks with different instruments, the colored scheme should be shown on separate part of window and by default just for illustration of notes sounding in the current moment on all the tracks.

When colored scheme is used as main tool for notes monitoring, it could be opened wider, showing not only the current moment's notes, but notes on the time/beat grid. Current track notes showed bold, other notes - thinner. It is useful to make the pop-up tips, which will show the track name when the cursor is hovered over the note. Additionally, this track's notes could be shown bold at this moment.
