What's the exact requirement? To typeset sheet music? If so, he may be interested in Lilypond (http://lilypond.org/web/). Regards, -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia http://www.noemasol.com

I don't know what you mean by "converter," but there is Lilypond for which an RPM is included in the SuSE 9.3 distribution. http://lilypond.org/web/

"I am trying to remove everything but my compostion Software that will take a played piece and write a score, If I can find a sheet music convert I might be able to give up Bloze."
People have suggested rosegarden and lilypond, and there's also
MusiXTeX. Also very much worth considering is MUP:
http://www.arkkra.com
which while not freeware (there's a small "shareware" fee which
is valid for all time) produces excellent results. Unlike both
rosegarden and lilypond, however, you don't have a GUI (allowing
you to "drag&drop" notes etc.), but you type in a textual
specification which MUP then compiles into a PS file of the
score. In this it resembles basic MusiXTeX (which however can
also be used as a backend for the GUI-based programs).
However, I suspect that these, though good for typesetting
sheet music from scratch, are not what Fred's friend is looking
for, since he talks about "taking a played piece and writing
a score", which suggests converting from the performer's output
directly to printed score (or editable equivalent).
I've not encountered such a thing for Linux myself, but then I
never looked for one before! However, entering the search text
"midi to sheet music" linux
into Google throws up a huge number of hits. These may be worth
exploring. If the "played piece" is available as MIDI output
(from e.g. an electronic piano), then there might be a route
to follow somewhere in that Google search or a similar one.
Hoping this helps.
Ted.

It seems, according to
http://www.linux-sound.org/
(under "Music Notation") that Rosegarden now does this:
"Rosegarden score creation from MIDI input and MIDI sequencer,
also exports Csound score file"
