thanks for the links,
i had another look but still can't see anything up to scratch - i need a
gui interface where i can to create large orchestral scores to
publication standard, output and transpose instrumental parts, design
and import non standard notational symbols etc. etc.
besides this i have dozens of scores already in Finale that need to be
accessible to me
Finale is working pretty well under Wine but i would just like to iron
out the few glitches that are there
thanks again,
rob
the link to mscore seems to be broken, or the page is down...

Hi,
Thanks Mikhail for all these notes and to others on the list for their
suggestions - I'll give them a try soon.
I just have Finale finding the maestro font which i put in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
then i modified the wine conf file to look in that folder
I tried to get the midi working by putting the FINMIDI .dll files from
finale into /.wine/c/windows/system and now get the message in finale:
MIDI is not active unless you have Microsoft's Multimedia extensions
loaded. (The Multimedia extensions come with windows 3.1).
i wonder is trying to load these extensions in wine the correct approach
to getting the midi working??
any thoughts?
also i just tried finale 2002 but tip of the day seems to stop the
system responding
thanks,
rob

A primitive GPL'd commandline loop player. Switches between loops with
MIDI program changes or note events. More info on the webpage.
Its just something I knocked up ages ago, someone who is good in Pd
could make something better in about ten minuites, but I needed this to
have low CPU load.
Hopefully it will be useful to someone.

Hi
Now googled around without results. The question is
what is the recommended way to run jack and jack aware applications as
a non root user. I saw something about capabilites at ccrma, but I
cannot se how it is done (I know it is in the 2.4 kernels).
I am running Gentoo with reiserfs, so I hope
it doesn't depend on using ext2/3 extended attributes...any
recommendations?
Best Regards
Hasse
I was just wondering if someone who is getting good performance with
jack on 2.6.x could post their kernel config file here since I am
getting bad levels of xruns in 2.6 where in 2.4.25 with the low latency
patches applied, I get none.
I am using Debian sid on an Athlon 2500+/ A7N8X-X motherboard with 512MB
RAM.. SBLive! and onboard sound chip both give good performance in
2.4.25 but not with 2.6.3

Has anyone ever owned a Digitech RP-10 (Guitar multi fx pedal)and have
some explicit info on the midi stuff within?
I'm trying to use the midi controllers on the RP-10 to control AMS
reverb and delay modules that run on my PA. I want to be able to simply
switch off reverb / delays between songs when I'm speaking on the mic.
I can get the volume pedal on the board to show as a continuous
controller and it pops up in the parameter window in AMS. But the switch
pedals, although assignable to midi, dont seem to show. The manual fro
the RP-10 states that the midi transmitted data will be from the pedal
on Ch 1 and that the other data it sends is "program change" data. That
is when you switch from one bank on the pedal to another. But it is not
recognized in AMS as is the CC pedal.
I'm no midi genius...I wonder what the "program change" data is and what
I might use to recognize it within linux audio?

Hello,
Apparently, with the native commctl and commdlg, Finale installation
fails (other installers tend to fail as well).
Therefore, *first* install Finale, *then* change the config file.
It might be a good idea to make the changes app-specific. I'm afraid I
don't have time to change this (I use Wine only for Finale).
Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
Hello,
I have managed to start Finale 2002 under Wine with all icons displayed
correctly. WARNING: I have not yet used it extensively, so I'm not sure
if it is stable! (And I still have no MIDI input/output, but then I have
not really tried...)
To get it to work, I took the following files:
commdlg.*
comdlg32.*
commctl.*
comctl32.*
from a Windows 98 (first edition) machine where Finale 2002 was already
installed (and works fine).
I copied them into the \windows\system\ directory in wine's fake Windows
drive.
I put the following in wine's config:
in the [Version] section
"Windows" = "win98"
in the [DllOverrides] section:
"commdlg" = "native"
"comdlg32" = "native"
"commctl" = "native"
"comctl32" = "native"
And, this works.
I would send the Win98 files to anyone interested, except that I'm
afraid there may be licensing issues (as these are a part of win98). So
your safest bet is to get to a win98 box, install Finale (this is
important -- apparently it updates at least COMCTL32), and then move
these files onto the Linux box.
I'm *not* sure it will work with files from Windows NT/2000/XP.
AND: you need wine 20031212. I'm not sure about later versions (could
try, perhaps - but "if it ain't broke don't fix it", so unless something
is not working correctly, I won't try anytime soon). But
200308-something simply does not work (font stuff breaks).
I will duplicate this on Frank's corner forums, and after some testing,
submit this to the Wine HQ and Frank's Corner for inclusion in FAQs.
Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
Hi,
Someone here was asking about fonts in Finale recently. FYI - There
is a note on the Wine-Users list this morning from someone who says they
have Finale displaying notes correctly under Wine, but are getting black
icons in the app itself. Maybe the two fo you can link up and get things
working better for both of you.
Look at the bottom of this page:
