Version 2.5.0 of the musical score editor NoteEdit is available: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html New features: - Octaviation (va - lines) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW: To continue the FINALE2000 <--> Linux discussion: I can't find octaviation (va - lines) in "Finale NotePad 2003". Does the full version offer va- lines ? And even if: In contrast to NoteEdit Finale NotePad 2003 doesn't play trills, (de-)crescendo, piano pedal marks. So, I assume the FINALE developers would regard the octaviation (va - lines) as a little nice decoration. But actually it should shift the notes by 1 octave. So what's the result: Cacophony ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - better mouse positioning support: A gray note near the cursor snaps to the line where the next note will appear - (limited) drum export to ABC music -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
