Add link to audio

[gburca]

Adding a link to an audio file is doable, and in fact can be done now using the song properties (there's a generic Notes field). A dedicated field and the ability to launch the default mp3 or midi player would be a good idea.

Synchronizing the visual and auditory portions is orders of magnitude more difficult and unlikely to ever happen for VirtMus since neither JPGs nor MP3s have any metadata indicating where the notes, measures, or pages fall.

What I mean is not to sync audio to the notes but to the page changes. It allows one to read the music. If you look on youtube you will find many videos that have the audio and sheet music synced.

So, all one has to do is assign page changes(of the pdf/score) to time(corresponding to a specific audio file).

So, it would require a bit more than just opening an external audio player with the file but have a player embedded and probably also "embeds/save" the audio to the project(since different audio files could provide sync issues).

Having a metronome that one could sync too then one could play to the metronome without ever having to change pages also.

Lots of potential but nothing fancy or impossible is needed.
