Re: [abcusers] Recommendations for graphical entry software
Has anyone mentioned Noteworthy Composer? It's cheap and simple... Sometimes too simple.

You can easily setup multiple staffs 3. You can click on a note value from a menu or toolbar and place it right where you want it. 4. You can double-click that note and change its pitch or duration by either keystrokes or by selecting a new duration (pitch changed by moving the note with the mouse. 5. You can enter notes next to, before on top of (i. e. chords) without any argument or user-friendly intervention. 6. You can save, cut paste, etc. ... all the usual editing features. 7. You can playback at any time without disturbing what you have. 8. The program is allowed to adjust note spacing for best appearance, but gives you the option of altering that to suit your own tastes. There is a program, less known than Finale or Sibelius, and cheaper, that I like very much. It is called Score Perfect Pro, it is made in Germany, and it pretty much does all the things you say you want, and it is very good. Take a look at http://www.scoretec.de I have used it for years (in fact I still do) on my old Atari, but nowadays it is a Windows program. On my linux box I use abcm2ps and also mup (www.arkkra.com). Very powerfull command line and text based apps with very good looking score output. -- Martin Tarenskeen To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html -- Christian Marcus Cepel | And the wrens have returned [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq:12384980 | are nesting; In the hollow of 371 Crown Point, Columbia, MO | that oak where his heart once 65203-2202 573.999.2370 | had been; And he lifts up his Computer Support Specialist, Sr. | arms in a blessing; For being University of Missouri - Columbia | born again. --Rich Mullins To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
[abcusers] Finale GHB
I don't know if I've asked this here or not, but there seem to be several Finale folks Any workaround to Finale's inablity to play GBH music (ornamentations gracenotes) as they should sound in GBH music? Further, does anyone have some sort of duration Table for each GHB ornament in case I'd like to try to program them in by hand? I.e., a Hard Throw on D is not a series of straight 32nd notes... These are programmed well into Bagpipe Writer/Reader/etc. I'd like to figure out how to to both enter these for proper playing into Finale, and better yet, I'd like to figure out how to add a macro menu, or plugins to insert them rather than arduously inserting them by hand. I just love how Coda music completely ignores the needs of it's paying customers I've never had an email responded to... There's no real tech support on the site, let alone a forum on Finale. Ooh.. maybe I should make a 'Finale Forum' using Php BB2. I bet a lot of people would like to contribute and share... I wonder if there is one in existance that I've never been able to find. //Christian //Christian -- Christian Marcus Cepel | And the wrens have returned [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq:12384980 | are nesting; In the hollow of 371 Crown Point, Columbia, MO | that oak where his heart once 65203-2202 573.999.2370 | had been; And he lifts up his Computer Support Specialist, Sr. | arms in a blessing; For being University of Missouri - Columbia | born again. --Rich Mullins To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
RE: [abcusers] Finale GHB
I got Finale 2004, used it a while and then went back to abc and several different flavors of abc software depending on what I need to do. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] Finale GHB
Gidday, I do not know about finale but Electric Pipes recognised abc and is easy to work in for GHB. It is also fairly inexpensive.
