NoteEdit is a defunct[1] music scorewriter for Linux and other Unix-like computer operating systems. Its official successor is Canorus.[2]
NoteEdit is written in C++, uses the Qt3 toolkit, and is integrated with KDE. Released under the GNU General Public License, NoteEdit is free software.
Features
NoteEdit, unlike some Linux-based music editors, features a graphical user interface. NoteEdit's design has been praised by ITworld,[3] and Linux Journal praised both the interface and the relatively wide range of features and applications of the program.[4]
It supports an unlimited number and length of staves, polyphony, MIDI playback of written notes, chord markings, lyrics, and a number of import and export filters to many formats like MIDI, MusicXML, abc, MUP, PMX, MusiXTeX and LilyPond.[4]
Linux Magazine recommends using NoteEdit with FluidSynth, a software synthesizer, to expand NoteEdit's abilities. FluidSynth uses SoundFont technology (a sample-based synthesis) to simulate the sound of a NoteEdit score played by live instruments.[5]
Authors
NoteEdit was maintained by Jörg Anders for a long time. Since August 2004, a new development team was formed. Now there are quite a few people behind this software project:
- Reinhard Katzmann, project manager
- Christian Fasshauer, programmer
- Erik Sigra, developer
- David Faure, KDE User Interface
- Matt Gerassimoff
- Leon Vinken, MusicXML
- Georg Rudolph, LilyPond interface
- Matevž Jekovec, developer and composer
- Karai Csaba, developer
In Autumn 2006 the development team decided to rewrite as score editor in Qt4 from scratch (now known as Canorus).
