IBM PC software which is to a musical score as a text editor is to a document wanted. No other capabilities (e.g. MIDI record or playback) needed, just the ability to edit and print musical scores. Freeware or shareware preferred. Anybody know of such a thing? Thanks. -- Richard J. Reiner rreiner@nexus.yorku.ca BITNET: rreiner@yorkvm1.bitnet (also rreiner@vm1.yorku.ca) -- Richard J.

Well, you might try Music Studio by Activision. Oh, there's also some player-piano type freeware on Simtel20, pd1:<msdos.music> I think. Of course, without MIDI things are going to sound really pitiful... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | The less things change, the | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | more they remain the same | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

An excellent piece of software with no MIDI capabilities is Dr. T's Copyist for the PC. It lets you define your own symbols, and it is basically exactly what was described -- a word processor for music. It also has the added benefit of being able to read MIDI files from sequencers and other such products. It can output to dot matrix printers in various resolutions (IBM Proprinter/Epson FX-xx are all it supports, I thing), HP LaserJetII (not the plus, the fonts are too complicated I think) or Postscript, Encapsulated posctscript, and that about does it. I've seen the postscript output and it's gorgeous. The product is pretty flexible -- my standard method of printing scores is to write the music in my sequencer (Sequencer Plus MKII from Voyetra) and export a file into Copyist-- then I tweak it up, etc. Hope that's helpful to you. ~~~Steve -- /************************************************* * *Steven Abrams abrams@cs.columbia.edu * **************************************************/ #include <std/dumquote.h> #include <std/disclaimer.h>

Is it shareware? If not, how expensive is it, etc? -- Bob Robison - Southwest Research Institute, Electromagnetics Div. robison@dfsun1.electro.swri.edu {sun!texsun, gatech!petro, uunet!cs.utexas.edu}!swrinde!dfsun1!robison
