Boosey & Hawkes publishes a cd of staff paper configurations, over 300 in all. It is only around $25, available from their website and JW Pepper. paxmaha Carlberg Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: At 5:32 PM -0400 10/4/05, Steve Freides wrote: >"Sibelius" is a popular music-writing program for computers.

Re: [Hornlist] Free Music Paper
I use lime http://www.cerlsoundgroup.org/main.html another shareware program. It may be clunkier than Noteworthy, but you can lay out the score and type in the notes from the keyboard. It also imports NIFF files from scanned music OCR (Optical Character Recognition) programs.

RE: [Hornlist] Free Music Paper
I'm unfamiliar with Noteworthy Composer but I thank you both for mentioning it - always good to know. For much of my living, I write computer software, and I consider myself a pretty picky user of computer software as a result, but I can find very little to complain about in Sibelius. For the musical portion of my living, I am often called upon to do choral arrangements, and handling text for voices can be tricky. Sibelius handles it about as well as I can imagine possible. As always, there is a proper tool for a specific job. I will try Noteworthy in the very near future. In the meantime, I'll continue to buy manuscript paper at the local music store. -S- > -Original Message- > From: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > du] On Behalf Of Steven Slaff > Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 5:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Horn List > Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Free Music Paper > > Carl, > > I agree wholeheartedly!

Re: [Hornlist] Free Music Paper
Carl, I agree wholeheartedly! I've used Noteworthy Composer for years because I never could afford the more expensive compositions programs. It is admittedly not as advanced/complex as Sibelius or Finale, but it definitely gets the job done well and is very easy to use.

RE: [Hornlist] Free Music Paper
"Sibelius" is a popular music-writing program for computers. It cost me
about $250 with an educational discount (show my faculty ID at the music
store) and does everything one could ever wish for, including having a good
online support forum plus good telephone technical support.
"Finale" is another program, an earlier iteration of which I used many years
ago.

University of Virginia Library to provide it.
But anyone who has access to desktop publishing software can whip up a
sheet of music paper to any specifications in a couple of minutes. I use
PageMaker; I don't know any others, but I trust that other current desktop
publishing software is as versatile. An advantage of making your own is
being able to make exactly what you want, rather than having to select the
closest thing available. That includes line thickness, staff width,
number of staves per page, instrument names and any other notations or

everything.
