0 Re: [Piano_Files] Writing Sheet Music

 

There are several free programs if you use the Windows environment.  If you prefer the command line I use a set of programs with abc text files (transcribing tunes into a text format) at its core.  There is also a Windows program that wraps itself around those command line programs.  Everything is free.  The abc programs create postscript files, the postscript reader converts those to a pdf format and an abc2midi (abc to midi) program creates a midi file of your music so you can play along.

Subject: [Piano_Files] Writing Sheet Music

 
Hello all,
I recently started transcribing my own sheet music but I was wondering what the best (and preferably free) sheet music writing program is for the computer.

Also, I don't really understand what MIDI is...? Do they sell sheet music?

Much thanks,

Sonny
