Add a guitar edit mode that allows you to edit notes using a guitar controller #194

The plan is to use the strum bar to seek forward/backward by the grid snap 
amount and press the note buttons to toggle notes. Holding a note while seeking 
would create sustains.

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.
