Hi David,

I'm close to completing an article on LilyPond and Frescobaldi. I
checked out other software too, including MuseScore, Denemo, Lied, and
Laborejo. All respectable, each in its own way, and in varying stages of
development.

LilyPond development proceeds nicely, especially after the funding
drive. Stable version 2.18.0 was released recently.

I haven't kept up with NoteEdit and NtEd. Both appear to be in a sort of
development limbo. Apologies to the Rosegarden team, but I haven't kept
up with that program's notation capabilities either.

OpenMusic has some neat notation features, especially wrt microtones.
Also has native support for MusicXML and an extension library for
exporting to LilyPond.

The FOMUS transcription system still works nicely with GRACE/CM and can
be used with SuperCollider3 (IIRC).

HTH,

dp
