It's just that I want to learn playing the instrument while I still have some free time and motivation. But in contrast to say a guitar (where one can find the chords behind every corner) it's a very specific market because I would mostly like to learn "national music" (sadly many of the nice songs from elsewhere might not be "playable" on the instrument) and with such a small population most of the scores are either: - handwritten (often in some hardly legible script) - written without sufficient information or without "playing aid" - accessible only via "YouTube tutorials" or some software showing the buttons to be pressed - super expensive - very often non-existing I would like to start with freely accessible (and "editable") scores of at least the old national songs (with unknown authors, so no problems with author rights etc.). If enough people contribute, the collection could grow fast enough. But: - I need to do it while I'm still motivated (and before I learn too much; because then motivation for adding the playing aid will then decrease :) - I need a fast and efficient way to enter the scores Currently I'm able to enter the pitches fast enough, but adding button names (and the basses) is still a horrible time waster that I want to avoid and something that should be fixed if I want to continue the effort. Most likely I will eventually have to use an external program for "conversion" between pitches and button numbers.
