Coloured warnings for difficult and impossible double stops on a violin, viola, cello and double bass in position 1-4, please?

Hi

Being a brass player and arranger, I have very little knowledge of how to play a string instrument. Done a bit of research on the above to prevent arrangements for string players that are not really doable.

Just like MS indicates the challenging low and high notes for the particular instrument's range, my request is that it is configured to also indicate the difficult and impossible double stops for the string instruments indicated above - taking the various positions of the left hand into account.

Yes, there are variable such as the size of the player and their level of proficiency, but general rule of thumb would suffice here.

Are you up to the challenge, Programmers?

Thank you in advance!
Peet

User heuchi made a plugin check Multiple stops for violin (for MS 2.x and 3.x).
https://musescore.org/en/node/284558 : Plugin to check if multiple stops on the violin are possible
(which got never 'released', probably because lack of feedback of violin players)
I adapted (and modified it slightly) for use with MS4

(Perhaps i should post it in the plugin repository. I think it works just fine, but i am not a violin player neither)
