Denemo is useful if you need just a front-end to LilyPond instead of a full application. To sum up, for Windows users, MuseScore is the most full-featured alternative available. It is developing very fast and is already on a stable release. It supports WYSIWYG editing, multiple voices in a staff, import/export of different formats, etc. NtEd is a new musical score editor for Linux. The original NoteEdit developer now develops NtEd (below).
It supports an unlimited number and length of staffs, polyphony, a MIDI playback of written notes, chord markings, lyrics, a number of import and export filters to many formats like MIDI, MusicXML, ABC Music, MUP, PMX, MusiXTeX and LilyPond and more! NoteEdit is a very capable and developed application, but there will be no more new releases since the developers have moved on to develop Canorus (above). NoteEdit is a free music score editor for Linux. It is a very stable and developed application. The only major thing it doesn't yet support is multiple voices in a staff, but there are ways of implementing this. Unlike the others, Rosegarden is a sequencer with a (very capable) notation editor built in. Rosegarden is an easy-to-learn, attractive application that runs on Linux, ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments. Rosegarden is a well-rounded audio and MIDI sequencer, score editor, and general-purpose music composition and editing environment. Take a look at the comparison of MuseScore and Notepad on the main page. It has a built in sequencer so you do not need to use an external softsynth like with many of the other applications. I certainly find it to be a lot more capable than Notepad. This software is very close to a 1.0 release and seems to be very feature complete. MuseScore is a free cross platform WYSIWYG music notation program, licenced under GNU GPL. This is more of a front-end to LilyPond than a full featured notation editor, and it still has a little way to go in terms of development. It supports note writing, import/export of various file formats, MIDI input and output, scripting and more! It is cross-platform, but still under heavy development so it is not yet ready for serious use.ĭenemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver. I thought it might be useful to show what free and open source alternatives are available instead, as I have recently spent some time trying all of these out.Ĭanorus is a free extensible music score editor.
