As a plugin developer I would like to be able to create plugins in QT Creator. So far this is not possible because there is no source for the MuseScore import, which the QT Creator could use.

The development of plugins with the musescore plugin editor very difficult.
I am used to Eclipse or XCode, where you have context-sensitive help, debugging, etc. and all of this is not available in Musescore plugin editor.
A simple task such as figuring out if a specific music sequence is present in a score, and at which positions, becomes quite complicated by not having the possibility to inspect with breakpoints and usual programming tools.
Please advice on how to enable doing that in some sort of IDE, or extend the "embedded plugin editor" with the afore mentioned capabilities, common in all IDE.
Any of those activities will certainly raise the extendibility of MuseScore.

You can use QtCreator
Probably even to a state that allows to close this issue
