39 ------ |
|
40 |
|
41 Denemo is a music notation program for Linux that helps you quickly prepare |
|
42 notation for publishing with LilyPond. Denemo does NOT strive to display all |
|
43 notation graphically or be the most complete graphic environment. Denemo is a |
|
44 front-end to LilyPond. If you are looking for a WYSIWYG editor Denemo may not |
|
45 be for you. If you are looking for a way to quickly prepare scores for final |
|
46 editing in LilyPond give Denemo a whirl. |

84 Rosegarden |
|
85 ---------- |
|
86 |
|
87 Rosegarden is an integrated audio/MIDI sequencer with a variety of user |
|
88 interfaces, including an excellent notation-based GUI. Rosegarden's support |
|
89 for standard notation was an essential aspect of the program's original |
|
90 design. LilyPond export capability appeared with Rosegarden. |
|
91 |
|
92 Rosegarden is a free software digital audio workstation program developed for |
|
93 Linux with ALSA and KDE. It acts as an audio and MIDI sequencer, scorewriter |
|
94 and musical composition and editing tool. It is intended to be a free |
|
95 replacement for such applications as Cubase. |
|
96 |
|
97 Rosegarden does not provide a built-in software synthesizer, so it requires a |
|
98 hardware MIDI synthesizer, a soft synthesizer such as FluidSynth or |
|
99 TiMidity++, or a synthesizer plugin in order to make any sound from MIDI |
|
100 compositions. Recent versions of Rosegarden support the DSSI software |
|
101 synthesizer plugin interface, and can use some Windows VST plugins through an |
|
102 adapter. |

|
145 ---------- |
|
146 |

147 FluidSynth, formerly known as iiwusynth, is a free open source program which |
|
148 synthesizes using SoundFont technology without need for a SoundFont-compatible |
|
149 soundcard, and the size of loaded SoundFont banks is limited by the amount of |
|
150 RAM available. There is a GUI for FluidSynth called Qsynth which is also open |
|
151 source. Both are available in most Linux distributions; compiling them for |
|
152 Windows is also possible. |
