Feature wish: sync between visual and text

[topchyan]

One of the nice features of EasyABC, which makes editing very convenient is synchronization between the text and its visual representation. It seems that Red Rose uses a more static way of rendering the score, but it would be great if it could do something like that: follow the score while MIDI plays it and letting user pick a note on the score which will highlight it in the text as well.

It is a huge feature to implement. For now I don't know how to do it.

I'm not sure about technical details, but EasyABC which I think relies on abcm2ps is able to do such a sync

Also Michael Eskin's ABC Transcription Tools, which use a different library -- abcjs -- have similar sync / highlight working somehow.

Not super critical, a nice to have feature, but it makes it so much easier when working with long files.
