FamiTracker
I'm currently trying to convert a Famitracker tune of mine to MML which is a pretty time-consuming task.
Since Windows allows you to have different representations for the same data (e.g. text, audio, image) in the clipboard, how about this:
Each time you copy pattern data also add a text (MML) representation of it to the clipboard. This would allow to paste pattern data as MML into a text editor.
E.g. a pattern like this:
F#4
F-4
E-4
...
D#4
...
...
---
D-4
...
---
...
D-3
...
would become:
f+64 f64 e32 d+32. r64 d16 r16 <d32
Hope I didn't make any mistakes, but I guess you get the point.
It should be easy to come up with an algorithm for this, at least much easier than if doing it the other way round (although being able to paste MML into the pattern editor would be awesome as well).
I think it's an interesting idea. Famitracker can't beat PPMCK in some aspects like supported expansion chips (yet) and PPMCK can't beat Famitracker in others.
