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/>

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.

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" Best wishes, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding@nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 29-May-05 Time: 20:18:04 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
