-This is intended to be complementary to the [[qt4_bug_tracker|Fake Bug Tracker]] -- it's an attempt to go through every feature in the program that has its own user interface spacesuch as a dialog or ruler, and decide how many of them are acceptable in layout and basic function and how many could do with some more work on the interfaces.  Real behavioural problems should go in the tracker, not here.+This is intended to be complementary to the [[qt4_bug_tracker|Fake Bug Tracker]]

 +This was a good idea Chris had, but I'm starting over from the top and being more systematic and methodical.  Because I have a tendency to use the menu options on the left more than those on the right of any particular context, the methodology is to go from right to left, bottom to top.  When menu items appear in related pairs or groups, eg. "move to staff above" and "move to staff below" it is OK to glob them all together in one section unless particular of them have problems.  If all of this seems confusing, a look below should make it apparent enough.

 +The TOC in this document doesn't like having major editors as H1 headings, so I had to adjust everything to make the TOC sensible. 
 + 
 +<code docuwiki> 
 +===== Major Editor (eg. Notation, Main Window) ===== 
 +==== Top Level Menu ==== 
 +=== Menu Item === 
 +== Menu Sub-Item == 
 +**Menu Sub-Sub-Item** (not enough levels of headings to make that work out) 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +While going through the interface, bugs are noted as **BUG** inline in the comments.  These should be collected and copied to the  
 +[[qt4_bug_tracker|bug tracker]] page.  It is acceptable to wait and copy them straight to the "bugs now fixed" section at the bottom if they are trivial bugs to hammer out. 
 + 
 +As one thing leads to another, major sub-features like the guitar chord editor, the control rulers, and so forth will get their own H2 level sections with links from the relevant sections in the menu item by item documentation. 
 + 
 +This is going to be a huge pain in the ass to finish and do as well as what I've restarted here in the Notation section below.  Seems like maybe Julie, Chris and Ilan are all anal retentive enough to help out with this and be thorough and methodical enough to make it worthwhile.  Any takers?  We could divide up and work on different sections in the same fashion as what I've begun here.  Then somebody could go back through and pull out all the **BUG** notices.
