Its official successor is Canorus.[https://canorus.org Canorus - a music score editor] Accessed 21 January 2020.
NoteEdit is written in C++, uses the Qt3 toolkit, and is integrated with KDE. Released under the GPL-2.0-or-later 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,[http://www.itworld.com/nl/lnx_desktop/10042001/ The Sweet Sound of Linux] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081229065516/http://www.itworld.com/nl/lnx_desktop/10042001/ |date=2008-12-29 }} Accessed 9 May 2008. and Linux Journal praised both the interface and the relatively wide range of features and applications of the program.[http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8928 LilyPond Helper Applications: Development Status] Accessed 9 May 2008.
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.
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.{{cite web |title=Do-it-Yourself Instruments |publisher=Linux Magazine |url=http://w3.linux-magazine.com/issue/37/NoteEdit.pdf |accessdate=2008-05-09 }}{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
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). Version 0.1.0 to 0.7.2 released under GPL-2.0-only, and since version 0.7.3 under GPL-3.0-only.
