We are thinking about developing a package to print music
on our Imagen laserprinter. Has anyone done any development on such
a project that will take a textfile and convert it into something
suitable for output on a laserprinter?
Our goal is to produce a program which can print parts as
well as a complete score for a piece of music.
I heard about this originally in the book "Metamagical Themas"
by Douglas R. Hofstadter, in which Dr. Donald Byrd had used a program
called "SMUT" to print some of the music found in the book. I called
Dr. Byrd at Indiana University, but found that he had left the University
to start his own company. If anyone has any idea where I might get ahold
of Dr. Byrd, I would be very interested.
Thanks for any information -- please mail responses to me, rather
than posting to this newsgroup. If there is a lot of interest, I will post
a summary of what I find out to this newsgroup.

The Computer Music Group at the Computer Education Research Lab
at the University of Illinois has developed a software package
for printing scores on a laser printer. The software is part
of a complete system, including computer controlled synthesizer,
for composing music and recording it on the computer via a
MIDI keyboard. Versatile editing features are provided.
