Hello,
I am posting in favorable comment of the notation editor, NtEd. It has
a very straightforward and simple yet powerful interface. It seems very
well-designed, and has been much more stable than the alternatives on
both my Ubuntu and 64studio systems.
I come from a background with Windows Encore version 4.5, which I still
run through Wine. However, I would like to switch to to a native Linux
program. I've tried MuseScore, which seems powerful, but is complicated
and has remained buggy on my system, including crashes and several
compilation errors. Canorus seems promising, too, but does not seem to
be as far along or moving as fast in development as NtEd.
For the record, I am notating the following types of pieces:
1. four-part SATB
2. piano pieces
3. jazz lead sheets
4. small instrumental ensemble music
What has other's experiences been so far with these new and developing
programs?

Haven't used any of those. I use Rosegarden. v1.7.3 just came out and
they're in the process of porting it to QT4.

I use lilypond and have used ABC in the past. You can use rosegarden
or musescore as a frontend to lilypond, but I haven't been very
successful doing it. I have an emacs program that takes MIDI keyboard
input and puts lilypond notes in the buffer, and I can use
point-and-click on the xpdf screen to get back to my emacs buffer.
I don't claim that this is as easy to set up as a GUI would be, but
given all the options you want for a full-featured notation editor,
for me anything that works with emacs is easier to use than anything
that doesn't.

Following the thread, i admit i still do not have made my choice:
i stared by using denemo with lilypond output, then switched to write
lilypond or ABC with vim, and have recently given a try with nted. I
noticed nted has a good midi-output, considering ornaments and other
expression directives.

Well, i also follow the development of Nted and it's a well mantained
piece of software. It updates regularly, and by now, it covers all my
notation needs (very basic ones for children and newbies).
In their ToDo list you can find they plan to adopt MusicXML, what i
find interesting.
Cheers!

I'm a massive fan of Musescore, it has replaced Sibelius for all my
notational needs.
Nted and Canorus seem very stable but not to my personal taste.
And using Rosegarden for notation (which I haven't done for a very
long time so may be completely wrong here) I found very cumbersome.
Cheers,
Chris

Nted is, as said, well maintained and frequently upgraded. The author was
tremendously cooperative in fixing Hebrew text issues and updating the text
capabilities to "standard". Not as pretty as mscore but becoming quite good
Canorus is the "other" noteedit successor has a long long way to go. Noteedit
is no longer maintained by is (not cited as such!) an excellent front end for
mup. Noteedit gets the job done while mscore will crash and nted may lack a
certain feature (as of last download).

Very very
cumbersome. Good for display only.

For straight scoring, i'm having a good time with Denemo, and with the work
being done lately, with porting, playback, etc.., it's making great
progress.
I will put in a good word for Rosegarden here.
Although it's more challenging to display a pseudo score view (select all
tracks, etc,) there's a lot of powerful features in RG, and importantly, it
gives us the fine tune tools needed to really finesse a midi chart after
we've recorded the notation. The latest updates, including the 'Free Segment
positioning' for rapid fire recording is an excellent addition that has
proved highly useful. It's already been expressed by Mike that he'd like to
see a dedicated full score component in RG, so it's on the radar.
So given the modular nature of linux that we enjoy, i think we're well
served for tools to use, and here in the desperately modest Parchment
Studios, RG has an important role.
I'm also fond of Musescore, but i do have challenges with the odd crash, the
RTC timer demands (might be worth changing this to an RG setup, with a
choice of timing weapons), and the fact it won't play nicely in my little
laptop (Hardy PPC) when i'm on the move. But given the rapid progress being
made in this app, i can see it being a big part of notational nirvana in the
near future, so this is one to look forward to as well.
I use it when i'm home, and it works ok.
2 roubles worth,
Alex.
