Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used
to craft music through
notation.
It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection
to inspire and help you compose. It works by reducing music-redundancy and
by seperating layout and data. Don't worry about the layout, just
concentrate on the music.

There are too many features to mention them all and too many missing
features and bugs to warn you. Most important known problems: * This is
Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced
midis and PDFs will last forever. * Performance can get bad very quickly
if you use Containers.
* There is no built-in sophisticated midi player/jack midi output yet. You
have to export midi files. * Documentation is nearly non-existent.
Have fun, it would be nice to hear from you!
Compare to frescobaldi, also python, uses lilypond format files directly and
is not really a notation program in and of itself.
Compare to denemo which claims to be.
Main problem with this is that is requires python3 which is not yet quite
complete. For example, I have been able to install eric5. Building pysmf works
for python2.7 but not for python3
