[linux-audio-user] SUPPORT NOTEEDIT [was: noteedit troubles]

[vord]

very good point[s] Andreas.

I think noteedit is brilliant. everything works as it should, it gives
no real problems, the interfaces are very intuitive. i too wish to see
it developed further ... but even if it is not i will probably still
use only it for composing.

by the way, i noticed on the [ex-]developers website that he mentions
linux distributions ignoring noteedit as one of many reasons for
giving up, so i thought i would mention that Gentoo Linux has included
it in their portage tree for some time now ... thats how i found
noteedit in the first place.

... as Andreas has suggested: if anyone else is interested in the
continued development of noteedit, please voice your support and
appreciation in this thread.

regards,
vord
