[edit] About the hack

So you are an aspiring flute player and you're dying to get a lesson from Nina Perlove (@Ninaflute), the famous YouTube flutist. The only problem, Nina lives at the other side of the ocean. Luckily Google Hangout comes to the rescue together with the MuseScore+ app. While hanging out, you can both watch the same sheet music and make annotations on it which are visible to all the hangout participants. All set for that master class with Nina!

[edit] Source code and links

• Start a hangout with the MuseScore+ app
• Fork the code on GitHub

[edit] What APIs, tools or kit did you use?

• Sheet music made with open source notation software MuseScore
• And stored on MuseScore.com
• Google+ Hangout apps
• MuseScore.com API
• Node.js, Redis, Faye, Express, Jade...

[edit] Anything left to do

• The MuseScore+ server is hosted in California (US) so there will be quite some latency on the annotation feature.
• Add more features such as navigation control, remove annotations, ...
