Re: Notation Software?
I rarely use tab, and using ABCexplorer, I can enter a page of sheet music into ABC, with chords and ornaments, in around five minutes or less, proofing via playback included. I've written out four-voice pieces (Carve That Possum), so I know ABC can handle complex sheet music. About the only thing I've been stumped with lately is how to write an octave up notation (8ve - - - - - ) onto the printed page, and I have an idea or two how to brute force that. That all said, those of you who use Musescore, what major advantages could I expect if I were to use Musescore versus ABC? Frankly, if it involves mouse use, I'll pass. As a touch-typist from way back, I enjoy the speed of simply typing notes right into the tune without messing with a mouse.
