i once tried to write simple lilypond script in max, which came out okay.

or [lcd] is always there for us, but notation seems a lot of work...

it seems like having an external to communicate from max to lilipond would be interesting, no ?

i, too, would love to see music notation native to max, maybe even in a simple form in the new detonate editor (whenever that is gonna come out?!)? looks like this will NEVER happen though, as it is complex problem and lots of grief. i wonder if noteability pro will ever update to max 5 functionality? that had some great max features. guess we all have to use pwgl/enp still for now...

in the mean time, seeing as the old (not really what 'we' need) lilypond chestnut came up, mr ajm is still a very clever boy:

what is pwgl/enp ? is that some kind of open-source clone of OpenMusic, as is Pd for Max ?

noteability pro (v 2.408) works perfectly fine with max 5. use it all the time.

FTM library has a notation object amongst many other things.

in my experience of playing for ages and ages with the ftm scoob / track / etc, i discovered they were great, but useless for mixing real notation into max. they also have a propensity to give one a headache. but i am a bit shit i guess.

the new "mubu" etc from ircam is pretty wonderful (would love to see a cycling version!), but sadly after beta will go into the forum-only distribution. looks like maxscore is becoming increasingly alone in this field, but like the original poster, i just don't seem to like it.

thanks for noteability pro heads up MIB - had not looked at it for a wee while admittedly...

I'm not sure why the first poster of this thread didn't like MaxScore, but it really is a well-done, fully-featured package (and windows too, Anthony!). Nick and Georg did a terrific job with it.
