Mup does not look bad at all, aside from not being opensource. But it
certainly will not break the bank and does produce nice output if it gets
decent input. You, computers ...

A while back, someone was working a a minimalist scoring program, gcomposer I
think he called it. His syntax was very close to MUPs idea. He was not
interested in a full repertoire of music symbols, however. But a GUI for MUP
in the making. it certainly could be.
