Hi Jan, > 1) the > ability to directly ask the author(s) for a feature or bug fix and .... Well, i thought of that, too.

Of course you could but again: I tried to focus on what a musician would think: He won't try to proceed with the development of a tool when the project is shut down. At least not the musicians i know. They want to produce music as easy as possible :) Thanks for your ideas.
