Pre-production on Sheet Happens!, a hobbyist sheet music app build in AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) is in full swing!

The final product is being planned for an open-source release so that the Flash/Flex development community can learn this exciting new technology. For those of you just joining us, AIR allows devlopers to create cross-platform desktop applications using Flash, Flex, or HTML. (Yes - HTML.)

In keeping with our open philosophy on this project, we have opened the Sheet Happens! Development Wiki to the public! You can check in to see how the project is coming along. You can also watch us track things like hours spent and milestones on the wiki calendar to get a sense of how speedy (or not) AIR is for development. If you are a student or are just getting started in the industry, you might pick up some do’s and don’t’s for your own project.

We will also post developer diaries on this blog from time to time to update you on our progress.

Sheet Happens! gives users an iTunes-style interface to manage their lyric and chord charts. Songs can be transposed on the fly. A number of viewing options allow you to customize your songs to help you play them more easily.
