I would really like to see something like the Harmony Browser
from the old Jazz++ sequencer brought into a program or ported
to stand-alone.  For those who don't know, the Jazz++ harmony
browser would allow one to click/browse through chords, e.g.
triads, with different roots and in different modes.  It was
quite a nice music writing tool.  The current Jazz++ URLs are:

  http://jazzplusplus.sourceforge.net/
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/jazzplusplus/

Once or twice a year the Jazz++ mailing list sees a message.
It's been a couple of years since I tried to compile a port to a
more modern version of wxWidgets.  It didn't completely run, but
it would start up.  The harmony browser should be easy to factor
and discover within that code as bitmaps for the UI are part of
the source.

Thanks....
