I'm not familiar with that application.

Muzic was created as part of the Eolas Muze project, which would be a
good example of what it can (http://wiki.tcl.tk/Muze and
http://www.mymuze.com).

I also imagine it would be relatively straightforward to modify one of
Richard Suchenwirth's weekend projects to work with Muzic. Tcl Music
(toy piano) comes to mind - http://wiki.tcl.tk/3977
