Unfortunately he has been a bit disappointed because he was not listed in some thread beginning this year [1]. Nevertheless I think it is a great program. I am not a musician myself, everybody tends to leave the room when I start making music-like sounds (or they start hitting me with random objects ;). My use of noteedit was for a friend, who is music student here in munich. He does his composing homework with noteedit, because it is the easiest to use and includes all features he needed (as someone who barely knew how to switch on a pc :) Now because I would like to see the development of this nice software continued, I ask everybody who uses noteedit or thinks it is worth the authors time please leave a little note here if and how he uses it and/or write the author some kudos :) Thanks a lot Andreas V.

Unfortunately, with software development this is the same as with cars or anything. You only contact the manufacturer if something is broken. It can disappoint if you only always hear bad things or at least nothing good about your job. This also recently made one of our core developers in ROCKLinux leave the project. I want to prevent this from happening again. Second thing is that software development and music are not natural buddies, so most musicians using software in this field might not be familiar with the 'usual' feedback channels ... at least not with free software. Well, let's hope this settles out, would be a nice thing for christmas :) Ciao Andreas V. Meier

Noteedit has saved me at least once, and I really appreciate the program. I used to follow the development and couldn't wait for new releases and always instanlty installed new versions when they came out. Tommi

yes, yes i do, although i am spending more time reediting more complex tasks in lilypond.. i echo the sentiments about this program being nice and would love to see development continue.. i know that there are bulky gui packages like rosegarden or muse around, but for someone that just needs to get ideas from paper to screen and back again on a crusty old pc, i'll take the faster/lighter option. i think choice is a great virtue of libre software, and i will always prefer using a wide range of softwares efficiently over an all-in-one-beast, but then perhaps i'm just too cash poor and time rich.. i respect the authors decision to cease production, but it would be great to see this project get back into full flight.. i really think there's a lot of room left in this tool for it to become something unique for composers of all descriptions to work with, it's not attempting to be a full fledged midi studio, just a lightweight graphical noteeditor that exports to a multitude of formats.. anyhow, it just requires a few developers with a bit of time, imagination and inclination to make something of it and take the load off the authors shoulders (subversion awaits!).. anyhow it's a great little tool and something we don't have enough of in linuxland, it would be unfortunate to see it become dormant and rusty.. okay.. end'o'rant.. cheers, dmotd oh, and for the count i know a few others in this small town using noteedit for composition, who would have no desire to peruse LAU, represent!
