MuseScore, LilyPond, and Chordii

Projects on the Move

Article from Issue 126/2011

Linux is a wonderful and underrated audio production platform, with great applications for every audio task. MuseScore and LilyPond bring elegance and sophistication to score writing, and Chordii is a wonderfully simple guitar sheet-music maker.

MuseScore is a sophisticated WYSIWYG music notation editor for writing and printing scores. It has a nice integrated mixer and synthesizer for instant previews of your work, supports the creation of large complex scores, and allows fast note input. You’ll find MuseScore in Debian, Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, openSUSE, and sources and binaries on the MuseScore website.
