A wild crosspost appears! Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data. Before you read the details make sure to connect to Laborejos Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus! https://www.facebook.com/Laborejo https://twitter.com/#!/Laborejo https://plus.google.com/b/116744898976321238325/ Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/images/screenshots/latestscreenshot.png This is the release of version 0.4 Download: https://github.com/nilsgey/Laborejo/tarball/0.4 Dependencies: http://www.laborejo.org/documentation Linux Instructions: Unpack, cd into the created directoy, execute: ./laborejo-qt Then use the number- and cursor keys for immediate success! Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus. New since version 0.3 (highlights): * Lyrics are visible under the tracks directly and aligned to their notes * Nicer cursor :) * New dynamics like fp and sfz. * New commandset for note speed entry with the numblock. * Colored always-visible Marker in the GUI to indicate track groups. Also displays small instrument name for better orientation * Lilypond binary and pdf viewer are now a config variable * More Subsitutions (assign a pre-defined group to host notes. Group gets transposed and scaled accordingly). Final Fantasy arpeggio, common melody figures etc. * Many bugfixes and small improvements that make the program work like you expected it to do anyway Most important known problems: * This is Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced midis and PDFs will last forever. * There is no built-in jack midi output yet. You have to export midi files. * Documentation is nearly non-existent. * Deleting selected objects may result in strange gui behaviour. Nothing a save/reload can't fix for now. Have fun, it would be nice to hear from you!
