Figuring out the goals of a MuseScore code sprint

Suppose there would be a code sprint with MuseScore developers & users, what topics or goals do you personally think should be addressed?

Wikipedia explains a code sprint as followed: "A sprint is a time-boxed period of software development focused on a given list of goals (but with variable scope)."

This is an open question. Feel free to answer on it in any way.

Some random ideas

On a maintenance & developer documentation level == make it easy for new developers
- Make several logic directories instead of the big mscore one we have (plugins, output, ui etc...)
- A couple of schemas or pages to explain how layouting works, how the model looks, how synthesizer and audio output works...

Pick one or more new feature and design/develop it
- Horizontal/panoramic layout
- Windows/Mac midi out
- External music font description a la Rosegarden
- Fret diagrams
- Tab staff

Discuss
- Plugins
- Unit testing
- UI testing
- Ergonomy

Hi  All,

I think picking one feature and concentrating on that is a great idea.
I also think maybe setting a goal like fixing all "critical" bugs
would be good too. Thanks to all the developers and contributers for
working so hard on MuseScore. It is seriously one of those apps
that--as music student and Linux user--I absolutely have to have.

Regarding a different topic, I was wondering if the development team
accepts or would consider a "bounty" system as a fund raiser, where
users could donate a specified amount for a specific feature or bug
fix. I've seen this done in other F/OSS projects as means to raise
support, and was wondering what you guys think about it.
