​If I were to revive my old project Igor Engraver, it would totally be called FrankenScore - a Body Resurrected.
  • It would be open source.
  • It would use a client/server model allowing server cloud hosting.
  • It would use Clojure rather than Common Lisp.
  • It would use JavaFX with Skia rather than QuickDraw GX.
  • It would be cross-platform, not just for Pre-X Mac OS.
  • It would consist of a minimal, extremely efficient core augmented with plugins.
  • It would have an API allowing for third-party plugins (including paid ones).

But do I want to go down that path? Vestigia nulla retrorsum is, after all, an excellent motto, as Moina Mathers well knew.
