Nice to hear from you. It has been a while.

Is there a new release/beta version around or are things mostly svn at this 
point. I would love to play with it some more.

For the post topic, my comparisons as of now (released versions):

                          complete?    formatting?   usability? 

nted                   almost          good             quite good
                          uses cairo, fast graphics + pango
                          can export to lilypond if preferred, no options now.
                          author quite good about fixes, new features...

mscore              very             lovely,           good, but stability/UI
                                              too flexible    issues
                          uses qt4, some speed issues for large scores?
                          author quite good about fixes, new features
                          but this is a large and complex work.

denemo             claimed         lilypond        wierd, buggy
                          Gtk-GUI feeder for lilypond--if one wants to try
                          lilypond's markup, there is a kate plugin and a
                          python-qt app-frescobaldi.

noteedit             good             lilypond        hokey, get's job done
                          no longer maintained, KDE3, runs fine on KDE4
                          ignore error messages if you get em

rosegarden   also does scoring. I found it nearly impossible to use for this. 
It is one of the most complete DAW programs in linux but is now dated, stuck 
with KDE3, could not run on KDE4. Being converted to QT4?

canorus is the other successor to noteedit. Was very incomplete last outing. 
Anyone heard from them lately?
