NtEd

NtEd is a brand new score editor software available for Linux operating systems. One of the standout features of NtEd is its real WYSIWYG approach, meaning you'll see exactly what you'll get when you print out your scores.

This software makes it easy to distribute musical symbols across pages and systems, and it even supports up to four voices per staff. Users can also create N-tuplets with anywhere from one to 14 notes.

For international users, NtEd offers a variety of flags, including German, Dutch, and Spanish languages. Additionally, this software features direct replay functionality, allowing users to configure music instruments per staff and export MIDI and Postscript files.

To maximize performance, NtEd libraries are kept to a minimum, thanks to streamlined use of Cairo, Gtk, X11, and ALSA. The software also includes anti-aliasing functionality.

To get started with NtEd, users will need to have a g++ compiler, pkgconfig, X11 (includes and libraries), Gtk-2.x (includes and libraries), Cairo-1.x (includes and libraries), ALSA-1.x (includes and libraries), and gettext installed.

Once the necessary prerequisites are installed, users can follow a simple process to get NtEd up and running. Start by downloading and extracting the NtEd file, then navigate to the appropriate directory and run the './configure' command.

If you'd like to specify an installation directory, use the '--prefix=' option. From there, use the 'make' command to build the software, and then install it using 'make install' (as root).

If you ever need to uninstall NtEd for any reason, simply type 'make uninstall' (as root), and the software will be removed. To begin using the software, launch it by typing 'nted' or 'nted .ntd' in a terminal window.
