============================================================================

### For next stable Nootka version 2.0.4 or above
  - **MIDI** input & revert MIDI out of course
  - **score helpers** also utilized for musicxml import:
    - fold (simplify) ties & rests
    - append another melody to score
  - clean code if objections will not occur:
    - when right mouse button is not used: TexamExacutor and TexecutorSupply
  - ...

### ...and much more in the post versions
  - migrate on preferred **48000 Hz** sample rate (ogg files and audio methods). DO NOT forget to resize output samples length
  - **download particular instrument samples** file on demand - to save installers size
  - storing **custom tuning** named by user. Import/export tuning in XML files
  - **undo/redo** for score modifications
  - add **rests** option for random melodies in exams
  - **ear training** as a kind of an instrument with bunch of apparent exercises
  - playing with metronome under Android - possible migration to **Oboe** library
  - implement **play what you listened to** kind of exercise for melodies
  - adding set of **rhythm patterns** for melodies generated from random notes (similar to melody list)
  - **time stamps** in question/answer units - to better track exam progress
  - adding actually edited score melody to current level
  - editing melody from currently selected/composed level
  - add **violin** support and revert **pitch accuracy** check.
    It has less usage for currently supported instruments, but for violin can be perfect
  - support for triplets
  - support for **pickup (anacrusis)** measures
  - exams control melody tempo, either fixed value from melody or random from declared range (or increased every question)..
    so far, user can play whatever tempo he likes
  - playing melodies in charts and single notes as well
  - option for **randomizing timbre** (instrument sound) in every dictation melody
  - add QML control for displaying single note using Bravura texts/glyphs system (to use in chart and question tips)
  - add **Italian names** of tempo to tempo menu
  - read-only **levels - password protected**, when teacher doesn't want user to see melodies inside

### small glitches:
 - TexamExacutor checkAnswerAct hint -> remove %1

### Translation context changes:

============================================================================

## MISSING IN ACTION (comparing to previous major version) - do we really need them?
 - left hand guitar (do we really need this?)
 - question mark during exam/exercises
 - no intonation gradients
 - There is no right mouse button to check/ask question - do we need that???

 - revert exam times (if we really need that):  
    next question delay  
    correction preview

  - think about hide octave in note name format when octaves are not required in answers.  
     Also for questions in "hint" - don't show octave when only name is required
