I'm looking for a public domain or shareware program that will print out music to a dot-matrix printer (Epson LQ-1000). I would also like the program to be able to transpose music. Is there such a thing?

Re: Printing music An important piece of information please: In what form is the machine-readable copy of the music?

Sorry that wasn't clear. What I want is really a music editor, where you enter the notes & notations in a music editor environment, preferably in a graphics mode. Once the music is entered, I would like to be able to transpose it to different keys, and/or to print it out to a dot matrix printer. So the machine-readable copy would be whatever file format such a program saves the edited music in. jim_d jim_d@cimcor.mn.org rosevax!cimcor!jim_d

For the time beeing it works with an input file where you tell what you want, and there is a little thing like makro's for often uses patterns. But I didn't write any documentation and it (for now) only works on LASERJET compatibles and IBM Graphics printer compatibles. Because the Epson escape seq. are like the IBM it should not be to difficult to port this printer routines and I could send a copy. By the way it is written in Turbo-C and is not bug free at all!!.

Re: Music program There is a product for the PC called "Personal Composer" that almost does what you want. It will let you compose music on the screen with keyboard or mouse or MIDI; it will do transpositions and such; it will produce music scores on the screen and, here's the kicker, to a PostScript printer. Alas, it will not print to any lesser device. Also, it's far from being free, perhaps US$300 or thereabouts.

Several of these exist. See recent review in Keyboard magazine for a listing of simple/cheap to professional/expensive ones. One I use occasionally is Songwright I (see back of PC Mag for ads, phone 703 822 9068), not shareware, but about $70. It will do most of these tasks.
