Hi,
It's been a while since I researched notation software. What are the
major players in the linux world? What is being actively maintained?
What is new and cutting edge?
Note: I use lilypond for printed scores but I'm looking for some
distinct functionality for in-score composing and orchestrating:
- individual jack midi routing at least at the staff level, better if
staff supported multiple voices and each could be routed separately.
- step input with both external keyboard as well as mouse
- customization for in-score articulations, e.g., staccato -> channel
change or slur/legato -> insert note ( for key switch software instruments)
- lilypond and/or midi export functionality.
I'd appreciate any advice. thanks,
Nted (succeeds Noteedit) is quite useful and useable. Can do most anything.
Can preview engraving; a few quirks.
Mscore (musescore) is gorgeous but its UI can be hard to navigate. WYSIWYG.
Gnu Denemo is one designed to feed Lilypond/Frescobaldi but I have not found
it usable.
