For French tabs with good optics you can also use MuseScore, which is
also free.
However I have not yet (on Linux) found any support of more than 6 courses.
Editing is quite easy.

I've used Parallels to open Fronimo on Mac and it works pretty well. My
only complaint is that Mac updates sometimes would create problems as
would OS upgrades. Eventually it would work but rarely the same problem
twice. That was 8 or 9 years ago so that may be water under the bridge.
Eventually I just got a dedicated Windows machine and all is well. They
are getting pretty inexpensive and Fronimo doesn't use much in the way
of computer power.
One small requirement is an 'insert' key (to enter a space). If you
don't have one on your mac (or windows keyboard) you'll want to map one
onto it. I'd be lost without it.

Hi all! I've been using Finale as my primary music notation software
for many years. Recently, I've begun arranging Renaissance and early
Baroque music for a mixed lute trio (Tenor in G, Alto in A, Soprano
in D), and while Finale does a fabulous job notating, transposing,
printing, etc., the one complaint I've had (and have made it myself)
is the look and function of the font used for the letters when
notating in the French style. I've tried many fonts available on my
computer; none seem adequate. Specifically, the letters cover each
other when two or more notes appear at the same time. A friend
recommended using Fronimo, but I don't believe that one works on a
Mac, which I use exclusively. Does anyone here have a
recommendation?
