What I'm interested in learning is:
- 1. Does anyone have it and use it?
2. Are there any comparable equivalents (other than LilyPond) that accomplish what it does in a similar manner?
Thoughts?
I have downloaded maybe 10+ years ago a demo version (I believe it was so), and tried, but it was really hard. I understood nothing.PIERRE BOULEZ wrote:“The SCORE music program has totally convinced me: it is beautiful, has a clear and intelligent optical lay-out, and quite frankly rivals the very best engraving work done in the past.”
Thanks for your thoughts. I am aware of what you speak of, however.OCTO wrote:I have downloaded maybe 10+ years ago a demo version (I believe it was so), and tried, but it was really hard.

First, you need DOS, or DOS simulator, later there was a some kind of GUI.
I think that software is used now just by some hi-quality engravers at the publishing houses, but almost none else uses it.
The creator of the software Smith is dead now, and I don't think anyone has interest in running it (developing, support).
What could be wonderful is that someone take © of it, and develop it further. Maybe to implement algorithms into a new software to be available for "unisex"-platforms. You can try also Winscore.
No. Part of it is the lack of access to the manuals. I would like to have those so I can do a proper job (I learned my lesson with LilyPond - Always start with the manuals!).OCTO wrote:Have you tried Winscore?

What are you referring to here? The LilyPond engraver didn't do the SCORE sample...John Ruggero wrote:The LilyPond example done by the same engraver appeared superior to me in so many ways.
