I could not figure out how to make ties and slurs. Anything I look at today, must give me that same independent control: the ability for multiple voices on the same staff, in the same bar.ĭownloaded Finale Allegro trial last night. Each note was assigned one of the six voices that the equipment of the time supported. Bank Street Music Writer was, OTOH, a fairly serious tool in its day, with complete voice independence in dynamics and even articulation envelope. You were hard-limited to two staves no inner voicing capabilities. MCS was essentially a toy, where you'd drag the notes to the staff. 25 years ago and get to the meat of the matter. In any evaluation I do, I'll peel away the eye candy and graphics vs.

My frame-of-reference for computer composing software consists of two programs, Music Construction Set and Bank Street Music Writer, both for the 8-bit Apple II. It goes without saying that technology has advanced considerably since then. This thread is a boon to me as I am currently in the market for a good composition/notation program w/playback capabilities.īackground: I've not written down ANYTHING on a computer for over 20 years. Also, if you want a feature, contribute it to the project!

Also, since all of the solutions I have posted are free and open source software, you do not get a neutered version of the real thing as with Finale's product, you get all the features with no serial numbers or activation keys. I hope this helps those looking for an alternative notation editor, now that the only free one will cease to be free in a couple of months. For specifically a notation editor, any of MuseScore, NoteEdit or NtEd will be very suitable.įor Mac users, I suggest keeping an eye on (or contributing if you have the ability!) the Mac build of MuseScore, in addition to the other cross platform applications still under development. For general composition, Rosegarden does a lot of things well. Canorus still has a way to go but is looking very promising.įor Linux users there are more options in the latter stages of development available, since in addition to the Windows apps there is also Rosegarden, NoteEdit and NtEd all of which are very capable.

Denemo is useful if you need just a front-end to LilyPond instead of a full application. To sum up, for Windows users, MuseScore is the most full-featured alternative available. It is developing very fast and is already on a stable release. It supports WYSIWYG editing, multiple voices in a staff, import/export of different formats, etc. NtEd is a new musical score editor for Linux. The original NoteEdit developer now develops NtEd (below). It supports an unlimited number and length of staffs, polyphony, a MIDI playback of written notes, chord markings, lyrics, a number of import and export filters to many formats like MIDI, MusicXML, ABC Music, MUP, PMX, MusiXTeX and LilyPond and more! NoteEdit is a very capable and developed application, but there will be no more new releases since the developers have moved on to develop Canorus (above). NoteEdit is a free music score editor for Linux. It is a very stable and developed application. The only major thing it doesn't yet support is multiple voices in a staff, but there are ways of implementing this. Unlike the others, Rosegarden is a sequencer with a (very capable) notation editor built in. Rosegarden is an easy-to-learn, attractive application that runs on Linux, ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments. Rosegarden is a well-rounded audio and MIDI sequencer, score editor, and general-purpose music composition and editing environment. Take a look at the comparison of MuseScore and Notepad on the main page. It has a built in sequencer so you do not need to use an external softsynth like with many of the other applications. I certainly find it to be a lot more capable than Notepad. This software is very close to a 1.0 release and seems to be very feature complete. MuseScore is a free cross platform WYSIWYG music notation program, licenced under GNU GPL. This is more of a front-end to LilyPond than a full featured notation editor, and it still has a little way to go in terms of development. It supports note writing, import/export of various file formats, MIDI input and output, scripting and more! It is cross-platform, but still under heavy development so it is not yet ready for serious use.ĭenemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver. I thought it might be useful to show what free and open source alternatives are available instead, as I have recently spent some time trying all of these out.Ĭanorus is a free extensible music score editor.

With the release of Finale Notepad 2009, MakeMusic will now be charging $9.95 for it instead of providing it for free as they have in the past.
