Hello everyone,
I've been on the list for quite some time, but have switched e-mails /
or been "lurking" and not actually writing. (I like to soak up the
info!) ;-) - However, I have a question / issue I've been trying to work
through. - I've been interested in composing my own Lute or "Lute style"
music for both playing on Lute and Spanish Classical Guitar. I want to
typeset it in a way that is readable by both Lute and Guitar players.
The question that I really am asking, is... Are there any really easy
typesetting programs for Linux (designed for lute). I spent quite a bit
of time last night trying to figure out the Tab program, after about 2
hours I got part of a composition down, but I got extremely frustrated
and tired.
Are there any other options? - or are my Lute versions of my composition
doomed for ASCII plain text?
BTW - My name is Joshua, I am about to turn 29, and I am from Texas. (I
might be remembered faintly ;-) ) My day job is working as a webmaster
for a local church. I am more of an intermediate Guitar player who has
an extreme fascination and love with the Lute and other early stringed
instruments (the lute especially). As much as I dream to own a lute, I
am in essence very poor, and this may never happen. I currently play off
of a modest 30/35 year old Classical Guitar from Mexico and a small
Cordoba Guilele for higher pitched playing.
Thanks,
Josh
