- Pyware did upgrade MusicWriter to version 2.0 and supported 5.0x. They added
- midi, miditranslators (which don't work properly) and fixed quite a few things.
- I'm not sure if they still support the GS as I haven't heard anything from
- them since 6.0. It's a pretty good program, although they did charge way too
- much for it. I suspect that for entering musical scores one would be much
- better off doing it on a PC or a Mac and a full page monitor. The output of
- MW Pro is very good though as it uses the Adobe Sonata font. Tough call...
-
- What would be nice would be a midi (standard) translator which would take
- files from other systems and translate them into SL or DT sequences.
