No, unfortunately. But NoteEdit is distributed on many 
so-called Live-CD-Roms. That is a Linux System which starts
from CD-Rom without any installation.

SuSE (www.suse.com) realeased such a CD and also during
the ZKM exhibition this year (http://on1.zkm.de/zkm/e/) a special
Linux audio CD with many audio programs , among them
NoteEdit, was released.

Because Mac OS X is also a Unix (like) system it is (perhaps)
possible. But I never saw a Mac OS X. Thus, I can't tell too
much about this topic.

My impression is: On Windows there are already some (almost) free
Score Editors, among them Finale NotePad (http://www.finalemusic.com/)
and the NoteWorthy composer (http://www.noteworthysoftware.com).

The problem is: Years ago there were no useable tools for
my preferred OS Linux.
Therefore, I concentrate on Linux.

[abcusers] Linux: noteedit-2.6.2: MIDI -- multiple voices per staff

2004-06-18 Thread Joerg Anders
Version 2.6.2 of the ABC music exporting musical
score editor NoteEdit is available:

http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html

New features:

 + The main improvements concern the MIDI import:

- distribution of MIDI data onto multiple
voices per staff during MIDI import.
This is especially useful if your MIDI file
contains the equivalent of such a score:


   |\   |\   |\   |\   |\   ||\
   ||||\   |||
 ---|--/////.---//---|
 ---||
 ---||
 ---||
 ---|--\-\-\.\---|
   | | | |
   | | | |/

   - Drum note recognition

   - Stacatto recognition

   - there is a new slider: Volume step to determine
 the volume difference of 2 adjacent notes needed
 to insert a volume signature (default: 10)
 This is important, because otherwise NoteEdit
 sets a volume signature between all adjacent
 notes who's volume differs. If the MIDI file is
 recorded from MIDI keyboard this is practically the
 normal case.

  + Almost all is exported to ABC music including:

   - drum notes

   - guitar chord diagrams

  + export/import of octaviation (va lines) (Tanks to Leon Vinken)
  + Note shifting by mouse wheel: 
  - Wheel + Ctrl: shift note by 1 line 
  - Wheel + Shift: shift note by 1 octave 
  - Wheel + Shift + Ctrl: shift note by 1 semi tone 
  + Cursor up/down + Ctrl: shift note by 1 semi tone 
  
  + bug fixes

NoteEdit-2.5.2. which comes soon can even export/import guitar chord
diagrams from/to MusicXML and export to ABC music.

Please have a look at:

  http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/MXML/mxml.html

There you find:

 - Your original files file1.xml, file2.xml, and file3.xml.
 - The NoteEdit files made by importing file1.xml, file2.xml, and file3.xml.
 - The ABC music files, made by NoteEdit's ABC music exporter,
 - The Postscript files made by abcm2ps (http://moinejf.free.fr),
 - The LilyPond files made by NoteEdit's LilyPond exporter
 - and the scores as image, again the abcm2ps output.

Ok, NoteEdit is not prepared to import File Four. This is outside
of NoteEdit's scope.

Version 2.5.2 of the ABC music exporting  musical score editor
NoteEdit is available:

http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html

Ok NoteEdit runs on Linux only. On the other hand: It is totally cost free.

New features:

 + Wheel + Shift: shift note by 1 octave 
 + Wheel + Shift + Ctrl: shift note by 1 semi tone 
- Cursor up/down + Ctrl: shift note by 1 semi tone 

   

Because NoteEdit seems to be totally unknown to this list I'd like
to mention the other features:

- insertion/deletion/modification of notes, rests, multirests, dotted notes/rests,
  tied notes, slured notes, clefs with/without shift, time signatures, key signatures,
  volume signatures, tempo signatures, triplets, repeat groups with/without special 
ending,

- Ritardando, Accelerando 
- Piano pedal marks 
- guitar chord diagrams See example1.not 
- drum notes 
- multiple voices per staff
- playing on /dev/sequencer (if correctly configured) whereby: 
 o giving each staff a different voice; 
 o giving each staff a different channel;

- export ABC music (see http://abcplus.sourceforge.net); 
- import MIDI; 
- read from MIDI keyboard; 
- record from MIDI keyboard; 
- saving an restoring the files. The fileformat is similarily to the format
  of the music publication program (MUP). So you if you are a MUP user you

Version 2.3.4 of the cost free, ABC music exporting musical
score editor NoteEdit is available:

http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html

New features:

- Improvements in MusicXML import 
Thanks to Leon Vinken [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  NoteEdit is now able to import MusicXML files produced
  by Rosegarden. Unfortunately, Rosegarden forgets the
  sharp and flat statements :-(
  and it produces 64 score-part.. statements. This
  leads to 64 staves in NoteEdit.  It is recommended
  to delete the empty score-part.. statements in XML
  file before importing the file.

- Minor changes and bug fixes: Among them:
score layout window mapping bug (Only KDE2/Qt2)


If you can't bring your MIDI device to work please py attention
to the new Timidity++ chapter in documentation:

http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/doc/timidity_server.html

And to the step-by-step instructions of how to de-compress and install
the FluidR3 soundfont on Linux using the Windows emulator wine:

[abcusers] Contribution ???

2003-12-18 Thread Joerg Anders
Hi!

I know a programmer who would contribute to abcm2ps. He
has some concrete ideas where and what to re-program. But
as far as I can see there is neither CVS nor a developers
mailing list nor developers page.

Does anybody know a developers contact address ? Or
should he contact Michael Methfessel, the abc2ps developer ?

Or is there no interest for new contributers ?

[abcusers] Linux: NoteEdit: import MusicXML

2003-11-13 Thread Joerg Anders
Version 2.3.3 of the cost free musical score editor NoteEdit is available:

http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html

New features:

- import MusicXML  

 Thanks to Leon Vinken [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This feature is still experimental. 
Do not expect any compatibility with MusicXML files exported by
Rosegarden. The MusicXML files produced by the Rosegarden sequencer
are incorrect, because:
 - Not every part has a corresponding /part
 - Note types crotchet and minim should be quarter, half etc.
 - MIDI channel numbers in MusicXML range from 1 to 16, Rosegarden starts at 0
 - MIDI program numbers range from 1 to 128, Rosegarden starts at 0
 - The part-name is empty
 - The score-part is empty

Furthermore: There is a undocumented feature : direct printing.
Thanks to Jorge [EMAIL PROTECTED]. This features uses
abcm2ps in background to enable quasi direct printing.

Unfortunately, this feature works only if you install NoteEdit
in KDE and print to file is not possible.

Use configure option --with-printing to enable this feature.
