• Music Annotation – MuseScore

    by  • April 16, 2008 • Audio and Video • 1 Comment

    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.

    MuseScoreFrom 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.  :)
