Sorry for the crossposting, but the statistics show that only some people have subscribed
to all three lists.
------------
Just after one month the Denemo project has released a new version of its music notation
program. Denemo 0.8.6, which is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS (via third-party
builds) as source and binaries. The software is distributed under the GPL. Denemos
notation-functionality is ready for daily and professional use and aims to be the only
tool you ever need for notation and an Open Source alternative to Finale, Sibelius or
other unfree software, because the tools for producing art and culture should be free.
Notable new features are
- Downloading new commands and edit scripts between releases
- MIDI out, Tempo and Volume changes and insertion of arbitrary MIDI messages at any point
in the music.
- Edit lyrics in text editor and see the syllable placement as you type. Multiple verses
per voice allowed.
- Pasting LilyPond text directly into the Denemo window. By pasting the actual music text
a Denemo editable score can be created from almost any LilyPond file.
- With JACK, the playback starts from the cursor or plays back the selection if there is
one. All this happens withoutre-creating the MIDI data, and in any case without generating
external files.
Official support, beneath our website, is avaible via our IRC channel #denemo on
irc.freenode.net.
For future improvements our team searches for additional developers. If you are interested
in notation and midi-sequencing please join the team!

at the PC-Keyboard, or played in via MIDI controller, or input acoustically into a
