Hi Mikhail,
Hello,
I have not been here for some months...
Was any progress registered on any software for WYSIWYG score
typesetting?
I'm starting to think that for tasks that really need WYSIWYG (as
opposed to
visual editing of the score "text" but not
the layout), a DTP-oriented
approach might be the best thing to do. Perhaps even adding a score
module to
Scribus. But before I start thinking of whether to try
some coding:
perhaos
there is already enough progress in ome project?
I'm really not the best
coder out there...

Well I can recommand NoteEdit, just take a look at the NoteEdit
homepage: http://noteedit.berlios.de
It's strength are music score editing and using of external music
notation systems like lilypond or musixtex to print your score.
Midi for easier input and listening to your score is supported
as well.
I wouldn't directly compare it to a DTP program like scribus
but more to a TeX frontend like lyx (i.e. formatting of the score
is not done directly with NoteEdit, though you can set several
format options for export).
Best Regards,
Reinhard Katzmann
