Hi, I'm trying out a copy of mup ( from http://www.arkkra.com ) and it seems to do very good score typesetting for me. The only disadvantages are that it is not free ( though 29 US-dollar is not that much ), and that it uses yet another notation language. I've just begun to be a skilled ABC writer. Any MUP users in this mailing list ?
I have now found several ASCII based music notation programs, each using it's own syntax - abc2ps and programs derived from it like abcm2ps and others - Lilypond - MusicTex - Mup And there are probably several others I didn't look at yet. Would be nice to start working on a commandline tool that can take many types of music notation formats as input and produces any other of these formats as output. I believe NoteEdit comes close to this goal, but I would like a simple commandline tool that can easily be ported to any platform (including the good old Atari I'm using for abcm2ps and mup :-) Maybe someone is even able to hack the formats used by commercial programs like Finale, Sibelius, Score Perfect Pro ... Maybe I'm just dreaming, but it may inspire some skilled programmers out there ? -- Martin Tarenskeen To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
