[linux-audio-user] Note typesetting for Linux

Ah yes, and there's another thing.
This is enough of a disharmonic straightjacket as it is. ;-]

No, I'm not starting a bun fight, more of a bun dance :-)

We all have different needs and uses for our Linux systems. What interests me 
is where the cutting edge of technology meets the avant-garde in art. Yeah, I 
know, they've been sleeping together since the 'new wave' of whatever began. 
As a composer, Linux offers far more potential for finding effective ways to 
score, document and realise new ways of making music. The traditional 12-tone 
system died along with many innocent people in the second world war (and it's 
out of tune), traditional scoring methods will only represent a limited 
amount of note information. To accurately represent some of my musical ideas 
I can imagine importing conventional scores into GIMP, dia or even OOdraw for 
further processing, possibly including pd patches and the like. I say 
imagine, I'd need a printer that could handle that kind of volume of 
printing. I'll let you know when I get there.

I guess Linux is capable of accommodating the more traditional approaches 
equally well.
