01 Nov 97 - 08:03 AM (#15634) Subject: Music Notation Software From: Bruce Johnson I had downloaded a trial version of some software named Muse from a net site in Europe as I recall. I was about to register it, being pretty impressed with it's capability to produce guitar tab as well as standard notation, but decided to have a look at NoteWorthy Composer first. This is another nice package but lacks the tablature feature. Now that I've decided on Muse, I've lost the address. I'm pretty sure it was here that I first learned of it, so maybe someone can point me back at the right site. |

02 Nov 97 - 04:58 AM (#15651) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: Joe Offer Hey, Bruce - after you've used it for a chile, how about giving us an evaluation? I'm leaning toward Noteworthy, or maybe Cakewalk (if I can find Cakewalk cheap enough). -Joe Offer- |
02 Nov 97 - 05:43 PM (#15665) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: alison Hi Joe I tried Cakewalk before and found it very difficult to use, I use "Musicator" and find it very easy and extremely useful. slainte Alison |
02 Nov 97 - 07:31 PM (#15674) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: Sharon I use Musictime and am very pleased with it - easy to use. But....... no feature for tab, unless you enter in in the lyrics lines. I have done that with satisfactory success. |
04 Nov 97 - 02:49 AM (#15703) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: John in Brisbane Hi All - Have already replied to this once but looks like it's gone for ever. Great tips from all concerned - I've been struggling to make headway on this subject and have downloaded lots of stuff. In the end I think I have succeeded only in confusing myself, but I'll keep trying. Some questions and feedback: - The price of Muse was a pleasant surprise, but got a bit of a shock when I saw the price of Musicator. Looks like I may have to upgrade to Win 95 in order to use Muse - I gather that there is NOT a Win 3.1 Version? - I paid the bucks for Band In a Box c/w Music Tracks Pro (I may have the second title wrong) but I haven't made much headway. Will be glad to report in due course but I get the impression that it may not be the easiest of notators. - Has anyone tried MUSIC-G-Tab for printing guitar tabs? I haven't used tablature much for guitar picking, but this program looks interesting. Happy experimenting. I must admit that I have been spending too much time looking at software and too little time actually playing. Intend to address this imbalance tonight. Regards John |

04 Nov 97 - 07:50 PM (#15743) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: alison Hi Quite like "Band in a box", it's dead easy to put in guitar chords and it sorts out the rest. Alan and I have used it as backing tracks on a few occasions. I still prefer Musicator for just transcribing melodies and guitar chords. slainte Alison |
12 Dec 97 - 11:06 AM (#17451) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: rosebrook Hello! I'm looking for software that can translate MIDI and ABC files of traditional celtic music into sheet music notation, is affordable, and is very easy to use. Any suggestions? Rosebrook |
12 Dec 97 - 11:54 AM (#17455) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: Jon W. I have used ABC2Win to translate from ABC to sheet music, it's $20 to register (which I haven't done yet--sigh). The unregistered demo version will translate to sheet music on screen but won't let you print it. I have found it to be quite easy - the best way of entering music note by note I have found so far. Easier even than scanning it in and going back to correct errors using Musitek's MIDISCAN (see above in this thread). And if you've already got ABC files it's as easy as falling off a log, but a lot less painful. But if you're a Mac user, look at my post of a few minutes ago on the "Internet Music 101" thread for a link to a site that has some Mac ABC programs. |

12 Dec 97 - 09:34 PM (#17470) Subject: RE: Music Notation Software From: Bruce Johnson I couldn't find this thread when I went to give the feedback that was requested, so I ended up starting another thread. So now there are two active threads on the subject, and I don't know how to link them or point to the other thread from here. Maybe one of the other respondents can do it for the rest of us. At any rate, you need to see the other thread to see my comparison of Muse and NoteWorthy, and several other postings of interest. I'll post a quick note to it to bring it to the top of the thread listings. |
