very good point[s] Andreas. I think noteedit is brilliant. everything works as it should, it gives no real problems, the interfaces are very intuitive. i too wish to see it developed further ... but even if it is not i will probably still use only it for composing. by the way, i noticed on the [ex-]developers website that he mentions linux distributions ignoring noteedit as one of many reasons for giving up, so i thought i would mention that Gentoo Linux has included it in their portage tree for some time now ... thats how i found noteedit in the first place. ... as Andreas has suggested: if anyone else is interested in the continued development of noteedit, please voice your support and appreciation in this thread. regards, vord On Mon, 6 Dec 2004 20:41:46 +0100, Andreas V.
