Description
Your idea
Using just the MuseScore notation software, my goal is to simply keep the note being played continuously sounding while I keep the computer > key pressed (step function), and not automatically jumping to the next note. BTW, that is the logical way a musical instrument works in real life (e.g., a standard organ).
Problem to be solved
The faulty present step function is not really useful. This improved playback step functionality would make MuseScore more REALISTIC and practical, while dramatically enabling the use of it for music playing and learning, also helping new electronic musical devices applications and MIDI interface.
Prior art
No
Additional context
There is a humanitarian project being developed to help disabled and children using this proposed new functionality.
Thank you.
