Composing tools
First I'd like to say that MS4 is amazing, beautiful work and thank you so much for making it happen.
I see that now some composing tools are included, I have some suggestions for more tools, mostly based on some of the simple things that can be done in OpenMusic (or Max now):
1. Generate harmonic series from a note (choose how many partials, which ones, etc.)
2. Generate chords from a mode (or group of notes) with the options of which voicing
3. Randomizer (either generates or selects from existing options), for durations, pitches, dynamics
4. Orchestrator - this could be effective for arrangers. Based to mood/color presets one can choose a melody or chords and the plugin will apply a formula (user will choose the instruments). With the option to create new presets and share them with other users.
I can provide OM patches (Lisp) that do 1-3 , the idea would be to do it directly on MS without the need to export midi from OM/Max, it provide a better work flow.

Although I expect that I would never use any of these (I could be mistaken), they sound like very interesting tools. :)
These are all excellent candidates for plugins. Plugins are written in QML, which is based on JavaScript.

Great! You can use the Plugins forum here on this site if you have questions on how to get started in creating your plugins.
