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
