Stenochoreography (for the human movements)

[Manolo-dev]

Hello everybody,

I would like to propose, for a future update, the addition of an "instrument" for Musescore: the human body.

I'm currently writing a ballet, and it turns out that there is no software for writing dance movements other than for the Laban system (which I reject).

I would like to be able to write in “stenochoreography” (an incredible notation that we owe to the Frenchman Arthur Saint-Léon). It turns out that this scoring system uses a sort of 6-line lift (5 lines together for the feet and a single line for the arms). Clefs, kinds of notes to indicate steps, ties, etc.

To add to the simplicity of this addition to the software (this system is already similar to the musical score system), it requires no virtualization, no sampling, no sound synthesis.

I currently don't have time to delve into such a big project (I especially don't have time to try to understand the Musescore code) (and yes, writing a ballet takes time). But if anyone finds the idea feasible and interesting, I would love to be informed and follow the introduction of dance in the best sheet music software!

Small example:

Good evening, good coding.
