=== Topics discussed ===<br />
<br />
==== Restrictions we may introduce ====<br />
<br />
Restrictions on nesting<br />
<br />
No more notes inside of notes inside of notes. (Q: How many levels is appropriate?)<br />
<br />
==== Debugging ====<br />
<br />
The user wants to know "What is this thing, and why doesn't it work?"<br />
<br />
We don't we have very good debugging tools.<br />
<br />
===== Visualization =====<br />
<br />
We need to be able to visualize things in time.<br />
<br />
To be able to see things as a timeline would help debugging.<br />
<br />
Discussion: Perhaps we start the user with a phrase maker widget, and perhaps we add a timeline -- either a piano roll or standard notation? <br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
