Title: nted -- score editor Post by: bvdp on September 22, 2008, 06:23:04 PM I just downloaded and did a test run of NtEd 1.2.1 from http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/nted.xhtml .
I'm not involved in anyway with this project. But, I do encourage everyone to give this a try. And say nice things to the author! There are a few missing items which make a show stopper for me (mainly chord symbols), but progress is fast and the author tells me that my items are high on his list! I did a few midi file imports and was impressed with the speed and accuracy achieved. Oh, this is Linux only (well, I think it is).

This is a step or two beyond where I'm able to take Linux just yet (and I don't read/write music :-[), so I'll pass on it for now, although it looks interesting. Unless an application is available in the Ubuntu repository and has a graphical user interface, I'm hooped :P One project I'll undertake in the near future is to learn how to download a tarball and install. And learn to use the terminal... ::) Title: Re: nted -- score editor Post by: bvdp on September 23, 2008, 03:54:02 AM Bob, This is a step or two beyond where I'm able to take Linux just yet (and I don't read/write music :-[), so I'll pass on it for now, although it looks interesting.

And learn to use the terminal... ::) Well, if you don't read/write music then a score editor will either be useless OR give an excellent opportunity to learn a new skill :) Note that NtEd is a completely GUI program. Installing this particular program consists of: - grab the tarball - unpack it with the command "tar xzf nted-1.2.1.tar.gz" - switch to the directory: "cd nted-1.2.1" - and execute (type) the following commands: ./configure make sudo make install All of this is in a terminal. And I'm assuming that the tarball is in the same directory as your terminal is pointing to. If the command "ls" doesn't list the file you'll have to do some "cd"s to the right dir. Most likely Desktop (ie; "cd Desktop"). That's it. Try it ... and if you get stuck send me a PM. Also, this particular sequence is standard for 99% of all tarball installs. The only things which will bugger you up are missing libraries. Usually the configure process will display something like "can't find library xxx". In this case use standard ubuntu programs to find/install the lib and then try again. Hope this helps.

Yes, thanks, it helps... at least it helps me to know what I have to learn before I can even understand your instructions :D Bear with me, man, I'll muddle through the basics, and then contact you when I have a better grip on the nomenclature and various tools. Work, work, work... ;) |
