[comp.music] A.R. Editions?

andka@IDA.LiU.SE (Andreas Kagedal) (04/12/91)

Some time ago I read somewhere in a news group (I think it was in a Music
Research Digest) something about a music notation program for Sun/unix.
I think the program (or the company that made the program) is called
A.R. Editions. The article where it was mentioned was the end of a
thread discussing programs for Mac and this program was only referred to
as very good and then the article continued discussing SCORE.

My questions are:

     Does this program exist?

     Is it really good?

     Where can I get it, and at what cost? (Is it perhaps ftp-able?)


Any answers are appreciated!

Thanks!

/Andreas

I spoke with A.R. about a year ago and they said that their system
was solely for in-house use and not for sale.  And, they said, if 
there were to make it available, it would be VERY expensive.
A-R is in the music publishing business and obviously they dont want
to give it away!

However, it is a shame that there isnt something as powerful as
FINALE or SCORE available on unix/x-windows workstations.  
But the marketplace runs the show, I guess.

There are a lot of us that feel that way.

FINALE I know is made by CODA (a division of Wenger, I think) but who
makes SCORE?

Score comes from PASSPORT , 625 Miramontes St., Half Moon Bay CA 94019
415 726 0280.  It was designed by Prof. Leland Smith at Stanford.

Now here's a question for you: I understand that there are some
packages out there that will allow one to emulate Macintosh programs
on a SUN Sparc.  (Perhaps they do it with an additional board or two?).
So, does that mean I could run FINALE on my Sparcstation?  Hmmmm.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
