I be doing a Music performance degree, so I like to think i can.
Don't make me read percussion clef though :S
Funny thing is, when playing guitar, i find alto and tenor clef easier to sight-read than if someone gave me bass clef.
Our theory class is about Arrangements for bands so I'm getting better.
I'm glad this thread popped up though, this helps me with my gameboy program project.

Wow, thanks everyone. I've got a lot to think about.

I'm drawing out interface ideas on 160x144 grids now. I think the screen size is what will limit me most as to how many bars can be on the screen at a time. Controls are another thing, I'll have to avoid clutter for the screen size, but don't want to have too many sub-menus.

I'll share a few things i'd wish to see on my project:
*Preset drum patterns. I hate writing drum scores
*Chord Symbols for easy arppegios. E.g. IImin7, V7, Imaj7. Would speed up the composing process.
*Save and export as midi. 
*Compatable with Gameboy printer? I guess it'd be reduntant (and too much effort) if you could just export it to PC and print it on A4.

I thought about having preset sounds that catergorise sounds with moods for newer composers, though sounds are subjective. Maybe words like 'fat', 'pure' and 'dirty' might work.

Until i have better knowledge of what's capable on a gameboy such as whether it can recognise a keyboard, plans of linking up a keyboard etc to a stock GB may seem difficult. If it's a matter of software recognising it, then maybe, it'd make life alot easier no doubt. My coding knowledge is limited however. Gameboy uses C#?
There's a Dr. at school who has made his own Instrument (Tim Opie. He's into Granular Synthesis) before and has made open source music programs that can help me with some of this stuff, though the project will be my own journey with help here and there.

This is all very good feedback. Keep it coming.

Wow, genuine Nintendo case?
It does look pretty cheap, Frostbyte's captures this through his great depiction.

Chillout though, i'm not looking for one, just seeing where this came from.
