Write Music and Listen to it [is there software for this]

Rosegarden and lilypond has PKGBUILD but never went to STAGING [I still hope]

Yet again, I think that rosegarden and the etc, are only for writing music.

What happens if you want to listen to it? [I know you can play it in the piano..] I do that smile
Is there an app that will play those notes?
maybe also support multiple organs and you get the idea..
Give some names.

as a last resort give also names of software that are not free software, don't run on GNU/Linux, but only on BillO$ and want Euros for me to buy them. [from the next pTOp store] haha.
anyways, share with me your knowledge on this issue, and I thank you for that in advance

Re: Write Music and Listen to it [is there software for this]

Hi,

I have some audiotools here (protux, ardour, muse), some working some
not. Why just not upping them. Most of which are written in C++ and gcc is
very nitpicking these days. So sooner or later they will get broken for a
while. Patching them all is not an option (way to much work). This is why
maintainig them is really a PITA.

Let's hope water will get calmer and we will see how this work out.
Personally I think the apps would make a nice TUR project I would also
support it. But there is now way to make me getting them into extra now.
Sorry guys.

maybe I'm too tired but I don't get it. What do you mean?
Play midifiles, or diesplay midifiles as scores?

Got it...
for this sorta stuff I currently prefer muse and musescore. For audio mixing
I prefer ardour.

Don't get me wrong, I have the packages here, most of them working. But
with ardour, for example, it was broken for several month due to some
annoying gcc issues. I don't need such things in extra.

It would be great to have a package for MuseScore. Thanks Neri.

Rosegarden plays those notes but you have to make sure it's connected to either a softsynth (Hexter, Fluidsynth) or a real hardware MIDI synthesizer. The RoseGarden tutorial will show you how to do that, but it takes some doing.

I'm about to reinstall Arch and try to get some music apps working on it. However, if you want the best collection of Linux audio/video, nothing comes close to Planet CCRMA-- http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ --a project at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Musical Acoustics. It is well maintained, with the most up-to-date packages, pre-compiled realtime kernels, a very informative mailing list, and--a true rarity in the Linux audio world--helpful docs and tutorials. Only bummer is that it's based on Red Hat/Fedora Core, but it uses the APT package tool for its RPM repos.


When all is said and done,
There's nothing left to say or do.

Re: Write Music and Listen to it [is there software for this]

yes thanks. that was a somehow old message. I use lilypond and I'm very happy. Rosegarden (as more QT apps) could use a UI cleanup
