- grozmovoi 2y agoso... a finale?
- cortesoft 2y agoMan, I remember using Finale to write music back in the 90s. I thought it was so amazing that i could write something that would be played back to me.
- samatman 2y agoI am crushingly disappointed by the middle two words of this headline.
- dwheeler 2y agoI've been a happy user of MuseScore, music notation software which has a gui, is cross platform, and is open source software: https://musescore.org/en https://musescore.org/en I gladly recommend it to others. A Tex like approach is available via Lilypond, though I have not tried it so I have no experience to share.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoUgh. I really wanted to like it, but using it is painful. Editing is bafflingly cumbersome, and in many cases impossible. And don't dare to take issue with any part of it in their forum, or you'll be banned forthwith. Absolute dicks.
- dwheeler 2y agoI'm sad you had that experience. I haven't used the forums. I have created some scores, and I thought it was fine. Ymmv.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoI recall having problems moving notes, and getting rid of extra rests or changing rests to the right duration... somehow the very behavior that you'd expect a computer to help you with when creating a score was not allowed. I realize this is a pretty vague complaint, but I just don't remember exactly what the hangups were. I'll have to give it another shot.
