MakeMusic Finale Replacement

Submitted by yale2011 on Thu, 2007-04-26 20:01.

Does anyone here actually use a free music notation program? I have tried using RoseGarden and NoteEdit, and neither one works for me. Finale is really the only reason I have to dual-boot. (And no, it doesn't work on wine) Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Have you tried Denemo?
It's a GTK interface to Lilypond.
Denemo is actually available in the Ubuntu repositories. I have used it
briefly, and it seems to do the job!

Here's what I found after a bit of research:

LilyPond

  • LilyPond is the music
    typesetter for Linux, outputs TeX, PostScript, PDF, and MIDI files, with
    an awesome features set and beautiful notation

  • Denemo GTK
    front-end for Lilypond

  • Emacs MIDI
    Input an elisp mode for step-time entry from a MIDI keyboard, from
    Hans Lub

  • LilyComp a graphic
    note-entry utility for LilyPond, requires Python and
    Tkinter

  • LilyTool a plugin for
    jEdit, provides functions similar to Emacs modes

  • Rumor
    Vaclav Smilauer's Really Unintelligent Music
    transcriptOR, a "realtime monophonic (with chords) MIDI keyboard
    to Lilypond converter"

  • Tutorial de

  • LilyPond

  • lyqi an
