jakenewmanbass Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I have just been trying to explain in a post about note placement for a bassline that somone asked for tab for. Would it be possible to have access to a bit of score writing software on here? (could be an advertising/revenue opportunity too) So that rather than long wordy explanations of what it is, I could just write exerpts and post them on here. I have literally thousands on nuggets of bass goodness floating around in my head, most of which could be written in score form really quickly. Making PDFs of parts seems obstructively long hand. Any Chance??? Anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) The best free notation software out there is [url="http://musettemusic.com/"]http://musettemusic.com/[/url] which will probably suit you fine if you want to paste jpeg's of a bar or two or three..... TBH I haven't used this for a long while, ever since I switched to Sibelius and started writing on a serious level, but I'm sure it'll be all you need. If you don't wanna go there or want a bit of a hand feel free to pm me.

Bilbo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just a addendum to all this. Can I recommend Primo PDF software for turning charts into pdfs. It basically attaches itself to your print button and by selecting 'Primo PDF' as your printer instead of your actual printer, it will turn any music software you can print into a pdf which you can then post on here. Best bit? Its free. http://www.primopdf.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Try "tux guitar" which allows you to open guitar pro files, write your own, and is totally free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sibelius can save as a PDF, as does Finale. And the very good MuseScore Notation software saves as a PDF - And yes its free.
