start qsynth or other sequencer on startup #112

Open matevz opened 4 years ago

It would be useful to have an option to start qsynth on startup, if it's not running yet. I guess this would also mean it needs to wait a few seconds to get initialized.

I think this will be challenging, but doable in a similar way like the current print preview. As we are on multiple platforms with multiple programs user should be able to define which ones to use for this purpose. Otherwise we need to include all these external tools with Canorus. I doubt that qsynth is available on Android (not sure how midi is working here at all).

Yeah, I thought setting midi synth options (qsynth, timidity, something else?) would be in the Settings dialog as it is now for default typesetter and the print preview app.
