Looks nice. Won't be able to use it for the foreseeable future unfortunately.
Apart from the considerable effort of having to enter the sheet music, there is one problem. At least where I teach, the big no-no prohibiting us from using this is always the copyright issues.
A public music academy where I teach once got sued by the local sheet music copyright maff^^^organisation. Not because piracy was rampant. It wasn't. It most probably happened to us because at the time, our boss was relatively young and they guessed easier to push around.
No larger music educational organisation will want to touch nice toys like you built before getting a legal opinion they have no budget for :-( Hat off to you for spotting that and staying at the teacher level. Good luck with your project.
P.S. Always welcome if you'd like to have chat about where music education and technology touch!
Sorry to hear you were burned like that. But we have plenty of customers — including large musical organizations — who use Soundslice. They either work out the licensing agreements with publishers or focus on material that they don't have to license.
(I see in your HN bio that you're a Django user — thanks for using it!)
I certainly hope you didn't perceive my comment as negative towards Soundslice. It's sometimes a bit frustrating to see all the possibilities of technology without being able to use them, just due to the intellectual rights maze.
Happy to hear that you're experiencing success in many places. Soundslice looks like a wonderful educational tool!
