- We met him the other day, after we ran the ad in NeXTWORLD announcing
- (ahem) Music Scribe. We did an obviously incomplete name search in a hurry
- to make the ad deadline, and chose the name "Score" for our product.
- Needless to say, we have already changed the name to "Music Scribe", with
- great apologies to the owner of the "Score" namd, Leland Smith of Stanford.
- His software, Score, does indeed run on DOS, and as far as I know does not
- run under UNIX or the NeXT. It is a very impressive piece of work, highly
- respected in the music notation industry.
-
- As for Music Scribe, it is true that it lacks some features for
- modern music, including chords. See related posting for some more
- information about that.
