Can anyone point me to PD or FreeWare programs to print music using an IBM PC clone and 9-pin printer? I'm not (yet!) looking for bells, whistles and publication quality, just something a little better than handwriting. I know there are commercial packages that do this very well, but I can't afford them. If GhostScript understood 9-pin printers, I could probably hack a first approximation to this, but it doesn't. (Yet? Rumors?) On the other hand, I could do an awful lot of hand transcription in the time it would take to hack this reasonably well. On the third hand, the G-clef only needs to be encoded once in vector format, so if someone's done it... -David West dhw@iti.org
