Double Staff Widget

The Staff displays notation for the current MIDI input. By default, the Staff widget is a double staff, however if you double click you will switch between single and double staff, using different clefs.

The Staff will try to display appropriate enharmonics, relying on harmonic context from key, current and past chords, etc.
