Smith and Perry Devine SCORE-11: Port of SCORE to the PDP-11 by A. Brinkman/Eastman: Input to Music-11 and CSound CScore by B. Vercoe/MIT: Input to CSound/Music-11 Adadio from the CMU Toolkit (adding to what Dean Rubine said in #43, the CMU Toolkit is also available for the Atari, from the CDP/York) Interface programs: Midirecord & Midiplay by Andrew Bentley/Nottingham. Midirecord converts Midi to Music-11/CSound; Midiplay plays Music-11/CSound to Midi. Available from the CDP/York or probably from Andrew (Andrew_Bentley@uk.ac.nott.ccc.vme (Janet)) S11input by Stefan Kohler and myself: Graphical/Midi front-end for SCORE and Music-11/CSound on the Atari. (Available from the CDP/York or from us). To Mark Gresham's request for a stand-alone program to play SCORE to Midi (#45): SCORE files can be translated by Score-11 to Music-11, and then played by A. Bentley's Midiplay. So currently with a PDP-11 and an Atari you can do the trick. A port of Score-11 to the Atari is promised...

Finale, by Coda, is the most powerful music transcription program on the market. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive ($1000). You can play on the MIDI keyboard, and Finale will convert it into a quite accurate score. Finale is available for the Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles. For about the same price, you can get Performer (a sequencer) and Professional Composer (a music scoring program), both by Mark of the Unicorn, for the Macintosh. You can play things into Performer, then use Composer to generate the score. Composer isn't quite as powerful at transcription, but you'll get Performer, which is a first-rate sequencer, to boot. - Mike -- |XXX| __/\__ |XXX|--------------------------+-----------------********========= |XXX| \ / |XXX| Michael D.
