Nrenoisetools, A Renoise Xrns/xrni Library And Tools In .net

First, i would like to thank you for providing Renoise Song in xml format. I remember few years ago a suggestion about using xml, you were already thinking about this and this is now great for developing useful conversion tools. :)
I will share with you my thoughts/questions about the xml format… if we can have some improvement on some fields, it could be great!

I don’t think this is a good opportunity to have a stamped official library… even if i agree that from a developer point of view, open source project are often fragmented and can be somewhat not really efficient, but it’s impossible to satisfy everyone with a single language/platform. You will always find someone that wants to use its own preferred language/platform/technique… sometimes for good reasons (even for freedom! ;) ). I guess this is even preferable, as we can all have benefits from these various sources of creativity.

For example, I did the .NET API because I’m mainly developing with this platform for the past few months (although I was developing in java for the past ten years also…) and I need a .NET API to easily build a conversion of Renoise Song to a proprietary optimized format to embed music in realtime gfx/sound demos… very personal and specific needs, but I found that it’s important to share this with the community, because it can increase creativity! ;)

So for Renoise, my feeling is that the most important official API for manipulating Renoise Song/Instrument files is currently the XSD model. I would expect more an official API inside Renoise, for example for developping plugins inside Renoise itself… but then, i would expect that this API will be delivered by Renoise Team (it is so critical that you must hold the coherence of such an API - The language doesn’t have any importance - it easy to plug a C API to a .NET/Java implem).
