Absolutely. Like I said, I don't have a problem with it.

The possibilities are endless. I'm not a graphic artist, but we can h=

That occurred to me. There's also LADSPA FX, but the thing with that =
and the=20
soft synths is they're integrated into MusE but independent projects.

It's kind of like doing an advertising campaign for beer based on the=

I suppose, but if we're making assumptions based on graphics, it's no=
t=20
unthinkable that people may  expect a notation editor because of the=
=20
background.=20
That said, splash screen =3D=3D eye candy, so for me it's not importa=

telling you my impressions.

It just reminds me of base model economy cars that say things like "s=
teel road=20
wheels" (AKA known as plain rims with no hubcaps) and "3 point safety=
=20
harness" on the sticker. The response that comes to mind is "I should=
