Summary
The old slopsmith-plugin-editor had a transcribe_audio endpoint (routes.py) using Spotify's basic-pitch to transcribe an audio stem directly into notes, plus a companion YouTube-audio-to-transcription workflow. A grep across the current pakr/ tree for basic_pitch/transcribe_audio turns up nothing — this capability didn't carry over into the feedBack rewrite.
This is a genuine capability gap, not a relocation — unlike generate_difficulties/fix_difficulties, which moved to the dedicated feedback-plugin-dynamic-difficulty plugin, there's no equivalent home for transcription anywhere in the current lineup.
Ask
Reintroduce audio → note transcription in the editor (or a dedicated plugin), most usefully as a step in the "create a feedpak from audio alone" flow described in the Song Editor Roadmap (#42) — e.g. transcribe a stem into an initial note pass an author can then clean up, rather than starting from a fully blank arrangement.
Context
Found via a comparison audit of old slopsmith-plugin-* forks vs current feedBack-plugin-* plugins, done to identify features lost when Slopsmith was scrapped (DMCA/PSARC) and rewritten as feedBack. Verified not a duplicate of any open issue (searched "transcription", "basic-pitch", "audio-to-midi").
