no, don't do that. i tried muse2 and it's falls well short of muse1 in 
virtually every respect in userland. what we need is Muse1 > QT4

treason is an offense punishable by law.

hehehe you don't know Rui very well if you think that Robert -  that man 
is possessed !! Truth is Qtractor looks and feels very nice, but isn't a 
replacement for Muse as it lacks some of the refinements required (and 
available in Muse1) for power users as Rui himself has admitted;

How dare you sir! You get to work at once!!

As I have carped many times before this isn't going to go away- about 3 
months ago i predicted this would begin to occur and now it has started. 
Slow at first, but it's just going to continue. I agree with Alex and he 
agrees with me - Muse rules.

Muse needs a transformation to QT4 not just for cosmetics but simply to 
survive. To deny this is to diminish all the great effort that has been 
applied by you two core devs for so long and for such little recognition 
in the mainstream. It's such a pity that I cannot code myself, as Alex 
also said, but I will be here to help in anyway I can. If you were to 
give me clear instructions and hold my hand perhaps I can do some of the 
hack work - i'm willing if you are.

That's my (well known) 2c on the issue.

best,
