- | Introduction |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Posters often ask about music notation programs. For their information,
- I've put together the following list of notation programs.
-
- In order to keep the task of maintaining it within manageable limits,
- and to be fair to all manufacturers, I have chosen to limit the
- information I provide about each application. For each notation
- program, I include the name, where to get it, its list price, and known
- citations of published reviews about it. I will not include lists of
- features, as they change too fast for me to keep up with them. I will
- not include subjective evaluations, because that would require more
- resources than I can devote to it and would likely be unfair to those
- manufacturers whose products have more features than I have patience.
- I will not include "street prices", since these change fairly rapidly,
- and readers of this list will know better than I what discounts are
- available to them.
-
- This list is subject to amendation. Without doubt there are errors and
- omissions. If the reader has any additions or corrections, please send
- them to me (denio@scubed.com).
-
- I use one of these packages, and I have prejudices in favor of some of
- them and against others. I've tried to keep my prejudices to myself,
- but please be aware that I have them and they might have slipped in.
-
-
-
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Review and survey articles in the literature |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Readers interested in more information than I've provided here are
- referred to the literature. I've attempted to collect citations of
- reviews of the software and have included those citations in the
- individual entries for the various applications.
-
- There are a few survey articles to be found:
-
- o Alan Belkin, "Macintosh Notation Software: Present and Future".
- Computer Music Journal, volume 18 number 1, Spring 1994, pp. 53-69.
- This review includes a feature table and a discussion of the question
- of a standard notation file format.
-
- o George Litterst, "Modern Manuscripts: The EM Guide to Notation
- Software". Electronic Musician, August 1993, pp. 32-46.
-
- o Ernie Rideout, "Notation". Keyboard, December 1994, pp. 69-97, 191.
- This survey article includes sample printout from the various
- packages.
-
-
-
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | A few background questions with incomplete answers |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- *QUESTION* Is there a standard file format for music notation?
-
- Answer: No, but...
-
- Alan Belkin posts press releases from the NIFF Project. I present
- here edited versions of selected posts.
-
- January 21, 1995:
- FINALLY, A NEW MUSIC NOTATION STANDARD FILE FORMAT
-
- ANAHEIM, CA - January 21, 1995 (with an update of January 29, 1995) -
- An exciting new development in the area of music desktop publishing
- is now coming to fruition after months of work: a standard file
- format for musical notation.
-
- ...
-
- The new format is currently code named "NIF" (Notation Interchange
- Format). Sponsored by Passport Designs and Coda Music Technology, NIF
- has had and continues to have major input from a large, diverse group
- of notation software designers, as well as researchers in the areas of
- music recognition, musicology and computer science, expert users and
- music publishers. NIF's exceptionally thorough design is the product
- of a lengthy consensus-building process between these participants. It
- is a non-proprietary format, and will be available with no licensing
- fees whatsoever to anyone who wants it.
-
- The NIF project is now moving into the testing stage. Several
- companies are scheduled to begin trial implementation shortly, to be
- followed by others once the format stabilizes.
-
- ...
-
- [Update] Note: Coda was an original sponsor of the NIF project, and
- continues to financially support NIF's development, but recently
- announced they have no immediate plans to implement NIF. They plan to
- instead publish their own proprietary ENIGMA format. All the other
- participants remain firmly committed to NIF, which is entirely
- non-proprietary; indeed interest has been such that new participants
- are arriving almost daily.
-
- April 3, 1995:
- Alan Belkin reported three major developments in the NIFF project:
- o New name for the file format
- The name "NIFF" (Notation Interchange File Format) was recently filed
- for registration with Microsoft Corporation as the formal name for the
- new file format. The NIFF format follows the rules proposed by
- Microsoft in its RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) definition
- language for new multimedia oriented file formats. The name "NIFF"
- replaces the project's former code name of "NIF".
-
- o New music software industry sponsorship
- ... Opcode Systems, Temporal Acuity Products, Mark of the Unicorn and
- Twelve Tone Systems recently decided to endorse the NIFF Project effort
- by providing financial sponsorship. All four companies have already
- been playing an active role in the format design for months. The four
- join original sponsor Passport Designs in becoming industry leaders
- working to provide a capability long requested by computer musicians.
- Coda Music Technology recently withdrew from its early commitment to
- the project.
-
- o A plan to combine MIDI and music notation info in the same file
- ... [A] new plan has been devised to integrate MIDI data into the NIFF
- format. This feature will aid the efforts of the many music software
- companies building products that merge the capabilities of sequencers
- and music printing software. The new plan allows the MIDI and notation
- information to be interconnected in a meaningful way. The MIDI feature
- will be included in the upcoming trial implementation.
-
- ... The first commercial products using NIFF are expected to be released
- in 1995.
-
- Funding for the NIFF initiative is being provided by Passport Designs,
- Opcode Systems, Temporal Acuity Products , Mark of the Unicorn, and
- Twelve Tone Systems.

-
- *QUESTION* Since there seems to be no standard file format for music
- notation files, what mechanism exists to transfer music from one
- application to another (e.g., from Finale to Encore)?
-
- Answer: most commercial notation programs can export and import
- standard MIDI files, so this path can be used for partial communication
- between programs. It seems that MIDI has no provision for dynamics,
- expression marks, or lyrics, however, so those would be lost in
- translation.
-
- Hugh Field-Richards (hsfr@dra.hmg.gb) reported the following to me:
- "Although it is not a complete answer you might care to take
- note of some work that I have been doing for some years past.
- This is is the text notation language, Cadenza. This is a
- proposed language for describing music in pure text form and
- could be used as a standard interchange language with ease.
- The US journal 'Computer Music Journal' were recently kind
- enough to publish my article on Cadenza in their Winter 1993
- journal pp60ff. ..."
- He notes the existance of a commercial product called Cadenza that is
- not associated with the notation description language of the same
- name.
-
- Various correspondents report that a standard is under development.
- The following is a very small part of of text provided to A. Kornstaedt
- by Steven R. Newcomb, who heads the relevant standards committee.
-
- "'HyTime' is the nickname of the ISO/IEC International Standard
- 10744:1992, whose long name is 'Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring
- Language.' It provides a worldwide standard technical framework
- for integrated open hypermedia, including the 'SMDL' Standard
- Music Description Language (ISO/IEC Committee Draft 10743). ...
-
- Introductory articles about HyTime can be found in the November
- 1991 issue of _Communications of the ACM_, and in the July 1991
- issue of _IEEE Computer_. ..."
-
- There is an FTP archive at ftp://ftp.ifi.uio.no/pub/SGML/HyTime, and there
- is an Internet discussion group called comp.text.sgml. An article
- describing HyTime/SMDL is said to have appeared in "Computer Music
- Journal" on 17 March 1994; the article is called "Aspects of Music
- Representation in HyTime/SMDL" by Donald Sloan of Ashland University.
- One correspondent said that this article was not in the cited issue and
- would get back to me about it; I haven't had time yet to check for
- myself. The general sense seems to be that HyTime might eventually be
- a music representation standard, but not for awhile yet.
-
- See the previous question for a press release about NIF, a possible
- new standard for file compatibilty between notation applications.
-
-
- *QUESTION* Are files built by an application on one environment
- portable to that same application on another environment? E.g., if one
- creates a Finale file on the Mac, can a Finale user on MS-Windows read
- the file?
-
- Answer: apparently, within one application (e.g. Finale) one can
- do this. I haven't tried it.

-
-
-
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Additional miscellaneous short topics |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- In re: sound output
- Many of these applications will produce sound output. Depending on the
- hardware one has available, the sound output can be useful for
- editorial review of the music one has enterred, and might be sufficient
- for performance. Discussions of sound output devices are outside the
- purview of this list, however; interested readers are referred to the
- Internet comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard newsgroup, Joel Plutchak's and
- Morgan Stair's FAQs, cited above. There may be parallel faqs addressed
- for other platforms, but I don't know of them.
-
-
- In re: copyrights and trademarks
- Many of the application names, operating system names, font names, and
- so on that appear in this list are trademarks belonging to their
- respective owners.
-
-
- In re: prices
- Prices are in USA dollars unless otherwise indicated.
-
- All prices shown are list prices. Street prices may be very different
- from list prices, and readers are encouraged to shop around. Some
- manufacturers offer academic discounts that bring the prices of their
- products even lower than regular discounts for qualified users.
-
- Several correspondants have urged me to include discount prices in the
- list. In compiling this list I chose to show only list prices, since
- the discount structures of various manufacturers differ. I chose list
- prices as a kind of level playing field: list prices act as a rough
- guide (notice I said rough) to the relative values of the several
- applications. I do not have the resources to track down the latest
- discount pricing for all these applications, so in the interest of
- fairness I will continue to include only list prices. It falls to the
- reader to shop carefully for the best discount.
-
- See also Schumann's and Charlson's lists, cited above in "Street prices
- of music software".
-
-
- In re: manufacturers' phone numbers
- All phone numbers are for the USA unless otherwise indicated.
-
-
- In re: demos
- Some commercial manufacturers make demos available. Some of them
- charge for the demos. While demos are sometimes available on the
- Internet, those demos often are of old versions. Your best bet is to
- contact the manufacturers directly for demos of applications in which
- you are interested.
-
-
- In re: shareware
- Soapbox: if you use shareware, register it.
-
-
- In re: caution
- Be aware that not all applications are created equal. Some cause systems
- to crash. Proceed with due caution.
-
-
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Summary table |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- N.B.: Most software is sold at prices discounted from list prices.
- To be fair to everyone, I've only shown list prices. Some commercial
- software manufacturers offer substantial discounts to academic
- customers. Check with your favorite software store, or see the FAQs
- by Elaine Charlson and Chris Schumann, cited above, for actual prices.
-
- Description of the table:
- The columns of the table refer to operating systems/platforms on
- which the applications run. The OSs/platforms represented in the
- table are Amiga, Atari, Mac, MS-DOS, MS-Windows, NeXt, OS/2, Power
- PC, UNIX, and X. Specialized platforms, or those for which there
- are only a few applications, are listed separately after the table;
- these platforms include Acorn, Apple II, and SGI.
-
- Table symbols key:
- * = application is available now
- p = application is promised to be available Real Soon Now
- ? = might be available, info provider was not sure or was ambiguous
- e = see individual entry for more information
-
- Price annotations:
- All prices are list prices; discounts may be available.
- "s" as a suffix to the price means that the application is shareware.
- Prices with prefix "$" are in USA dollars; with prefix "UK L" are
- in British pounds; and with prefix "DM" are in German Deutschmarks.
-
- R (recent review) column key:
- 1 = included in Keyboard Magazine December 1994 survey article
- f = free software, not in Keyboard Magazine article
- s = shareware, not in Keyboard Magazine article
- = not in Keyboard Magazine article
- d = discontinued
