> So - do you use noteedit? :)
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!
