But you can contact me directly (ja(a)informatik.tu-chemnitz.de). NoteEdit causes only some minimal problems. And most of them have to do with the current hardware or the current Linux distribution of this concrete user, nothing for a list. Thus, till now I could answer the few questions directly. BTW: Some people contacted me. They want to establish such a list. My answer is: "Of course! And I would mention this list at NoteEdit home page. But do not expect to much contribution from me! It is your list, not my list!" No, the braces are not supported. At the beginning I redarded NoteEdit rather as a musics instrument than a notation software. And at the beginning NoteEdit produced only a MusiXTeX skeleton. To convert this into a valid MusiXTeX input was a task to the user. But e-mails from many users drove me to improve the output and to support more and more music typesetters (PMX, ABC, LilyPond). So what you see is a snapshoot along the long road of the NoteEdit developement, which offers a lot, but not the score layout. The current state is: You can learn ABC, MusiXTeX, LilyPond, MUP and/or PMX and insert the braces "by hand". Read also: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/doc/lily_omit_score.html Sometimes I plan a score layout menu. That does not mean NoteEdit shows the braces. But the users can determine which score layout is produced in ABC, MusiXTeX, LilyPond, MUP and/or PMX. No, currently not. And it will be a long way before I'll introduce this. It has to do with my own interests. As you can see from my examples, I want to write score with at least 6 staves. Thus, line breaking is completely useless. But again: The typsetters (ABC, MusiXTeX, LilyPond, MUP and/or PMX) of course break the lines automatically. BTW: I never wanted to write a score editor. I waited for Rosegarden-2.x which was announced at rosegarden home page for 8 (!!!) years. Or I waited for a Linux port of the Note Worthy Composer (http://www.noteworthysoftware.com) which I regarded as perfect. And it didn't matter to me that it presents the whole score in one line. I want to give non-musicians a feeling of the relationship between the score and the music. And the running red notes do this job very well. I even wrote to the Note Worthy developers and asked for a Linux port. I would also pay a fee like for the Windows version. The answer was : "No, never!". -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja(a)informatik.tu-chemnitz.de)
