instead of music reader how about in the scratch paint there is a ap that enables you to types notes then play them so a could be the key a.

That's good... but it could be the lowest A on the piano keyboard, or the highest, or somewhere in the middle... because there are a lot of As, Bs, Cs, Ds, Es, Fs, and Gs (there is no H) on the piano keyboard, so it's going to get confusing.

needed blocks:
motion:
glide(  ) secs to (sprite)
gravity on
gravity off
set gravity effect to (  )
looks:
|______| effect of (sprite)
sound:

pen:
eraser down
eraser up
control:

sensing:
stop timer
all of sprite is touching |______|
all of sprite is touching color[_]
error found
operators:
(_) <= (_)
(_) >= (_)
variables:
show list [______]
hide list [_______]

I don't think Scratch reading sheet music is possible, but it could read and play a MIDI file.

Well, if it is high tech enough, it could.

They should just add MIDI support - MIDIs can be used as digital sheet music anyways 

x ^ y

Text Boxes

position of x in y
y contains x?
substring function

I'm sure he knows that, some programs need to be even faster.

Sprite animations should be easier to program.

Some joints could be movable, such as pivot stick figure animator.  This might not always work.

eraser down
eraser up
<pen down?>
<eraser down?>
hide list[_____]
([____] effect)
(pi)
(phi)
turn gravity on
turn gravity off
<gravity on?>
set gravity power to [_________]
(gravity power)
<sensor board connected?>

you should be able to save a limited amount of data on to the clients computer so that games do not always need to be reset


example:
SAVE VARIABLE ****** to client space (1-10)

[blocks] <{  SAVE lives TO SPACE # 7  }> [/blocks]

i also think you need a 'if sprite _ is touching sprite _' etc. as the if colour is touching colour script doesn't work all the time depending on what you want to achieve.

I need a 'mouse-pointer is touching _?'

they already have mouse pointer touching

Backwards sound? That would be cool....

Regarding <Clear pen> - how would that be different from the clear block in the pen palette?

it would not clear stamps
p.s. what about setting the maximum length of a pen line so you could cut off the tail?

Can covert a project into different formats such as SWF or EXE so every computer (even computers that haven't install Scratch) can open the project

Make a block that can control the speed of playing a sound

Can convert the sound of a project to a MIDI file so everyone can listen

Make a block that can hide a list (just like hiding a variable)

Make a block in another sprite like this: Other sprites touching mouse
Example: In Sprite 2, this is: "If Sprite 1 touching mouse"

In <key[  ]pressed?> , use key confirm instead of choosing in the list, that means, press a key to choose

EDIT: I'm not sure if you need the multiplayer sensor board, since everybody can use Mesh.

Or we MIGHT need it, because Mesh can only connect 2 players...
