Version 2.3.0 of the GPLed musical score editor NoteEdit is available: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html New features: - score layout : braces (piano staffs), brackets (staff groups), continued/discontinued bar rules. Note! NoteEdit does its best to export the score layout. But depending on your typesetting system the score layout possibly changes (see below) - Hungarian GUI translation (thanks to Peter Breuer <comp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>) - end bar - multi repeats Note! The multi repeat influences the replay but the signature is only exported to MUP. (Perhaps some gurus can sometimes explain to me how to export this into to different typesetting systems). - UTF8 text coding in "*.not" files. This sould enable correct restore of Russian (Cyrillic), Greek, Hebrew, ... texts. Note! It does not mean it exports Russian, (Cyrillic), Greek, Hebrew, ... texts to MusiXTeX, LilyPond, ABC music, ...! I'm afraid I'd need a native language speaker with some C++ programming knowledge to solve this. Note further! This implies a small version incompatibility if you wrote lyrices and titles containing non-ascii characters :-( Please correct them on NoteEDit score and store them again. Note futher! I'm not quite sure whether this disturbs the KDE-2.x/Qt-2.x compatibility. - the # --> B / B --> # tool influences only the selected part (if any) this is especially usful after Midi import if the score has some B and some # parts. - bugs fixed, among them: + correct replay of dal segno al coda + correct MusiXTeX export of ending repeat close symbol + cleanup rests works (again) Problems exporting score layout =============================== MusiXTeX actually accepts either completely continued or completely discontinued bar rules. If you specify a mix of partial continued and partial discontinued bar rules NoteEdit produces some statements of the musixdbr.tex package by Rainer Dunker. NoteEdit produces a warning and gives advice to install this package. Otherwise MusiXTeX will fail. PMX is a preprocessor to MusiXTeX and therefore the same problems apply. ABC music cannot deal with nested braces in brackets. NoteEdit will warn you. LilyPond can deal with braces and brackets. It changes the staff rules according to some LilyPond inherent rules. I was told it is possible to break these rules. But I assume they are there for good reasons. NoteEdit will warn you if a LilyPond rule will change the staff rule policy. MUP has no limitations. -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
