Installation nickel and excellent manual in French (thankfully also because you have to go there) ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Extremely light (normal, no GUI just how html code) ... Note however that the minutes of the partition can take quite a while ...

OVERALL OPINION

I zyeuter this little program for quite some time. At first I was very reluctant to work in code rather than GUI like Sybélius or Finale ...

And then I ended up making the pitch and there in a few days I am completely convinced. it is true that the ownership of the code takes some time, but finally no more than understanding the logic of Sybélius example (it's been 6 years that I use sybélius, and each time I provided for the galley layout, lyrics ..). Here with the help of the manual in a few hours you master the basic tools, knowing that we have more advanced functions if you need it one day ...

The philosophy of working code is to know exactly what we do and everything under control ... and it changes everything. In addition you can copy and paste lines of code so a thousand times more intuitive and efficient than the copies in a graphics editor ...

On the other hand there 's something absolutely brilliant, is the integration of lily-ponds-Open Office ... For an educational book or musical score is very good ... you type a code, and wham! it generates the partition as an image directly into the document ... if you want to change something, click on the partition and you can edit the code ... a quick export to pdf and it was something really super clean and pro ...

And all this free software. Frankly, why bother with anything else?
