Songwrite 2
A tablature and music score editor.
Songwrite 2 is a music score and songbook editor. This software is
especially designed for musicians who do not master solfege (like me!)
and to Linuxian musicians. Songwrite 2 can edit staffs, but also
tablatures (for guitar, bass, banjo, lyre and diatonic accordion,...)
and flute fingerings (for tin whistle, recorder,...); it also manages
lyrics. Songwrite 2 can play and print the partitions.
Songwrite 2 is a free software (libre software) written in Python. It
is available under GNU GPL.
See the complete doc in ./doc/en/doc.pdf
or the French version in ./doc/fr/doc.pdf
NB: this source tarball does not include the source of the
documentation (in LyX format) ; it can be found in the Subversion
server on the Songwrite 2 website.
--- License ---
Songwrite 2 is Free Software.
It is available under GNU GPL.
--- Requirements ---
* Python 2.5 (older version should work but have not been tested)
* EditObj 2 (http://home.gna.org/oomadness/en/editobj/index.html)
* GTK 2, Cairo, and the corresponding Python binding
* Timidity and Timidity instruments, or Playmidi, or another way to
play midi file (require for playing tablature; you can still create
midi file without)
--- Installation ---
Untar the tarball.
Then you can immediately run Songwrite 2 by running the ./songwrite2
script.
Songwrite 2 uses Python's DistUtils for installation.
To install Songwrite 2, type (as root):
cd Songwrite2-XXX
python ./setup.py install
NB: You'll get a warning at the end ("warning: install: modules
installed to '/usr/share/'..."); you can safely ignore this warning.
You can now run Songwrite 2 by typing "songwrite2" in a console.
By default, Songwrite 2 is installed in /usr, you can modify the
setup.cfg file if you prefer another location.
