Having the ability to accept guitar controller input for charting may become a
matter of major convenience when it comes to charting for pro guitar.
Otherwise, the user would have to place a gem over each of the 6 strings that
would be played for a given chord, then enter the fret number played for each
string.

Pro guitar charting has a wealth of keyboard shortcuts, but if this type of
logic is implemented, it may be a good idea to allow a combination of
controller+mouse functionality, such as moving the mouse to the desired
position, pressing the appropriate buttons/frets and then strumming. For pro
guitar/keys chords, this would especially be a timesaver.

In order to dual-purpose this input method, it could be a user option as to
whether strum advanced to the previous/next grid snap/beat or if it placed the
currently held fret buttons (similar to hold mode). In the case of the latter,
the DPAD on the guitar controller could be used, but they'd have to be mapped
by the user or automatically detected. Phase Shift maintains a controller
database that maps automatically based on device ID. If Allegro is able to
poll this type of information, EOF may be able to do the same.

It wouldn't make sense to attempt this before porting to Allegro 5.

The original functionality in this enhancement is probably easily achievable
using the logic that is now present for the Feedback input method. I'd still
like some method of reading from MIDI controllers for pro guitar/keys authoring
though.
