* When you open a parameter window and close Synthlab, it stays open in miniTamTam.
* Pickle PagePlayer.trackDictionary and TamTam settings
* Saving patches doesn't work
** <strike>move settings out of GUI</strike>
* Loading and saving tune
* Networking
* Integrate TamTam into Sugar
* Plugin for SoundFilePlayer (low priority)
* <strike>Make Framework.Constants.TAM_TAM_ROOT dynamic (pull value from env TAMTAM_ROOT)</strike>

=== Look ===
* Instruments buttons display the name of the instrument (eventually an image)
* Add legend to Volume, Tempo and Beats sliders.
* Note drawing
** shadows
** bezels
* Button Images
* Background Images
* Custom slider drawing
* Custom scroll bar drawing
* Drawing for mini page widgets (display notes)
* <strike>Incorporate mixer into instrument controls section</strike>
* <strike>Mic Record buttons directly on the instrument button</strike>

=== Interaction ===
* Double clicking on sliders should reset the value to defaults.
* Double clicking a page in the page bank or song selects all tracks of the page.
* Click and drag playhead (with possibility of notes playing while the user drags the cursor in the future)
* Left cliking the mute buttons mutes the track, right cliking it solos the track. Cliking it when in mute/solo with any button reverts to normal.
**Colour to indicate whether in solo/mute state?
* Contextual Cursor
** Change over the playback <->
** Change over note hotspots
* Ability to draw notes
* When in tune mode, effects from right clic in the track should affect all page for this track (ex.: increase reverb level for this track over all tune )
* re-order pages in tune view by dragging
* Ability to delete pages in tune view
* Ability to insert pages into tune view (from page bank)
* <strike>Track selection shouldn't affect playback (only muted tracks should affect playback)</strike>
* <strike>Double click selects one track (single clicking selects multiple tracks)</strike>

=== Generation ===
* Alternate generators
* <strike>Interface for choosing generation algorithms</strike>
* Template python generators
* Documentation

== Performance ==
* Separate the main TamTam application into two threads.
** Timer thread (Doug)
** Timer interface for TamTam (Sean)

== Bugs ==
=== GUI ===
* Right click several times on note or track - several windows pop up
* Should lockout main window while subwindows are up?
* <strike>Changing the number of bars needs to resize the notes</strike>
** <strike>workaround: resize window</strike>
* <strike>First selected page in Page Bank should be the first (not the last)</strike>
** <strike>workaround: use the "close" button to close the window</strike>
* <strike>Notes aren't being displayed during Keyboard recording</strike>
* <strike>don't popup so many generate windows (when you click generate several times)</strike>
** <strike> (repeat)Repeatedly Clicking the Generate button brings up multiple windows</strike>
* <strike>Close mic recording window using the 'x' button, reopen it (it's tiny and empty!)</strike>
* <strike>Need to move window on startup to show notes</strike>
* <strike>Double clicking on a track to select only one track doesn't work anymore.</strike>

=== Generation ===
* <strike>Generate across many pages. Modifying notes in one page can modify notes in other.</strike>
** <strike>Generator is likely copying notes from previous pages by reference, not by value.</strike>
* <strike>GenerationParametersWindow should keep in memory modified parameters values</strike>
* GenerationParametersWindow should never be destroyed...

=== Csound ===
* Csound server uses cpu cycles when idle ( CSoundServer.py )
* Csound server seems to forget about certain instruments (init faster than table loading ? )
**INIT ERROR in instr 101: Invalid ftable no. 330.000000
** a1 flooper2 1 kpitch .25 .5 .1 itab 0 iskip
**INIT ERROR in instr 101: function table not found
** a1 flooper2 1 kpitch .25 .5 .1 itab 0 iskip
** T213.880 - note deleted. i101 had 2 init errors
* <strike>Send note offs for tied notes when stop is clicked ( also for muted track )</strike>
* CSoundClient performs no error-checking, program crashes on broken pipe.
