I would be screwed without the GUI! But others are not...The glorious
thing about Linux is it's ultimate flexibility not provided by it's
rival OS's...and the fact that you can maintain optimism much of the
time, that after a million hours of googling, reading, downloading,
compiling. etc, that you WILL end up with, at least in part, a worthy
solution.

those 'details' are a vital part of music. After you've typed the

processing on computers is adapted to these things. A good music
editor should be like this. I will not use a gui score if most things
I have to use via point&click.
OK guys!!!
Everyone of you are right, I cannot say the opposite, because each one has his way of
reacting with a problem.
Lilypond is good, and probably will be better and better, I know it (it is at 2.1.0
release...) but in my opinion is like watching the green symbols in Matrix... when you are
used to watch at it you finally understand it (only MHO).
But apart from this, I don't want to think that Linux doesn't need a WYSIWYG
application...
you can record or manage sound with ecasound or wiyh sox, but other people need audacity,
or a lot of other guified application...
So I begin the discussione on finale, not for commercial reason, but only to suggest the
lack of a completely graphical frontend for edit music score.
Probably mscore that in the night had a peack of download ;-) but (i think) no
installation :-( could be in the next future something to point out...
But I hope that Rosegarden, Noteedit and Denemo will be soon improved.. really I hope.
I don't need a commercial product because I believe in the open source philosophy,
and for wath concern myself I can only translate to italian, suggest bugs, and tell
friends to discover the Linux world...
sincerely
ste Point
& click is the worst way of entering & tweaking scores.
with a sort of speedy entry, not... probably for other thing like slurs or dinamics marks
or other details...
