So, you spent a whole month on a fork of Muse because of a problem you

found in Ardour and you claim it is Ardours fault that you didn't

acknowledge the heritage of your new project?
Seems a bit rash to me. 320+ hours of dev time on the problem in Ardour

would probably have fixed the issue you claim as a blocker.
New projects are fine and working from existing codebases is definitely

the way to go but creating a whole new project because of a limitation

you have found in an existing actively developed and maintained project

seems like a waste of time and unnecessary fragmentation to me.
