And it won't either -- the upstream is unresponsive and seems to
have no interest neither in incorporating bug fixes nor in adding
features which the package formerly claimed to be offering[0].

I'd suggest to remove cantus3 from the archive if it wouldn't
have so many users (according to popcon.d.o) - there are better
tools for GNOME/GTK2 with same or better functionality[1].

[0]: formerly, 'cos I removed them from the long package description
[1]: e.g. tagtool, easytag, exfalso [from quodlibet] etc.
