hi
sorry if this is slightly off-topic but to convert fully to linux audio
i need to be able to use notation - i've seen some of the open source
notation packages and none of them are up to the level of Finale yet.
i'm trying out finale 2000 on the WINE emulator for Linux on Redhat9.
I have put a copy of the maestro.ttf font into an X11 directory and
pointed my .wine/config file to that directory so now i have the font
showing up in finale.
My problem is all the little buttons in the simple entry panel are black
instead of showing up note/duration symbols - most of the other buttons
in the other entry panels are showing up ok. any linux/wine/finale
users out there???
are the symbols on these buttons connected to maestro.ttf?
- reports of any experiences with using finale within WINE would be
greatly appreciated especially with regards to getting the midi .dll
side of things up and running.
thanks,
rob canning

Hi Rob,
If you want to make a really step, there's plenty of notation softwares
under gnu/linux :
ABC : http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc/
or look at this page :

Is this the same font that Sibelius needs under wine? Maybe I should
just try it and find out
are the symbols on these buttons connected to maestro.ttf?

So are you saying you don't have any midi playback under wine? I ask
because I'd like to know if someone has got any music notation software
under wine to play back the music (midi). I got Sibelius working
perfectly under win4lin but there was no playback, which wasn't good for
what I use it for.

No. Maestro is Finale's own music font, designed by Blake Hodgetts to
replace the awful Petrucci. The default Sibelius font is called Opus.
Of course it's possible they might be able to use one another's fonts,
but I think it's unlikely. (Rosegarden-4 can actually use both of
them, though I'm not sure why you'd bother as the Lilypond Feta font
is probably better than either.)

Hi all!!
Three months ago I've written an email to the CODA Music support, to know
the reason of their indifference to the Linux/Unix world.
They answered me that for the moment they are not interested in a port
to Linux, because of the slight number of Finale's user that use Windows
and Linux or Mac and Linux...
I'm sure that we are a lot of people that still use Finale.
For example, the only reason that force me to have Windows on my pc is
only FINALE...
I'm really unsatisfied from the rate of growing of denemo (for the
moment I think that it is the best gui...) in debian sid i had waited 5
months to see a new version of the 0.6.0 ...
Well, I propose that all of us, write them an email...
We have to convince them that we aren't a slight number of users...
(there is another thing... Coda music knows that there are a lot of
finale cracked installation... why don't they solve a part of this problem
making a free/open version of Finale?
Let me know what do you think!!
