Music Annotation - MuseScore
April 16, 2008
Although I’m not a musician, I have an aunt who is. While trying to find everything that she would need to convert to Linux, I found MuseScore, a music score typesetter.
From their official site, the list of features include:
- WYSIWYG, notes are entered on a “virtual note sheet”
- unlimited number of staves
- up to four voices/staff
- easy and fast note entry with mouse, keyboard or midi
- integrated sequencer and FluidSynth software synthesizer
- import and export of MusicXml and standard midifiles (SMF)
- platform independent code for Linux, Windows and Mac
- GNU GPL licenced
You can download MuseScore for Linux, and there is also a test version for Windows. Now I’m one step closer to convincing her to switch.
