It is a WYSIWYG musical score editor. Therefore you can make some corrections before exporting it. BTW: It can also export ABC music (http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc, http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/) which was also mentioned in this thread (and MusixTeX and PMX, http://icking-music-archive.org) And implicitely MUP (http://www.arkkra.com) because MUP is the native file storage format of NoteEdit. It can import/export MIDI. And I don't know how many voices per staff Finale can deal with: NoteEdit offers up to 9 voices per staff. During replay it highlights the played notes in red color and it pays attention to the following symbols: - repeat - volta - dal segno (al Fine, al Coda) - (De-)Crescenso (hairpins) - ritardando, accelerando - tempo signatures - fermata, trills - stacatto - piano pedal marks And you can attach guitar chord diagrams and lyrics. And you can read the music form a MIDI keyboard attached to your soundcard. -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
