MuseScore
MuseScore is a
graphical WYSIWYG music score typesetter.
Notes are entered on an "virtual note sheet". As notes are
entered, the
score is immediately reformatted. It uses the LilyPond
project's
TrueType fonts.
The program has a clean user interface, with fast note editing
input similar to the step-time note entry found in the popular
commercial Scorewriting software packages, Finale and Sibelius.
MuseScore is a outgrowth of MusE,
a MIDI sequencer for Linux.
In 2002, Werner Schweer decided to "cut MusE's notation capabilities
out of the sequencer and rewrite it as a standalone notation editor".
The rewrite is based on the cross-platform Qt toolkit.
