There are currently two excellent, full-featured graphical notation programs available: MuseScore and NtEd. Instead, I will just present the basic features and status of these programs so that readers will be aware of what is now available. Music notation can be very complex, so I am not going to attempt to cover all of the features of these programs. The good news is that music notation has matured to the point that I can do all of these things reasonably well and without excessive effort! We now have many great programs, and with the current rate of progress we will soon have the best programs of any OS. Until recently, much of this was still too difficult with Linux. I occasionally could have benefited from guitar tabs as well.

Apparently, no one on the LAU list had faith that NoteEdit would ever reached maturity.Īs a music teacher, my needs for music notation have included full band, orchestra, choral and jazz ensemble scores.

The original developer, Joerg Anders, the developer of the much improved NtEd, stopped developing it when he read comments on the Linux Audio Users' (LAU) list where a commenter requested a community drive to get a Linux version of one of the proprietary windows notation programs, without even acknowledging the existence or potential of NoteEdit becoming a reasonable option. NoteEdit was the only usable graphical program on Linux for many years. It worked, but it was time consuming, error-prone and not a process I could ever hope to teach my students to use. I could create a music part, export to the abc music format, edit the text and then print out the parts. But I learned to use it, hoping that it would develop into a real alternative. The only Linux alternative at that time, NoteEdit, was very crude. So to get the improved Sibelius I would have been out $600 in two months! I was just starting to notice Linux and started looking for open source alternatives.
Only one month after I purchased Sibelius for about $300 USD, a new version came out and I was not even qualified for a discounted upgrade.

My first purchase of music notation software was Sibelius. Then Sibelius came along with a much easier to use interface and the competition caused Finale to make major improvements. I know at least a few people who purchased Finale, attempted to learn it, and then decided it was much easier to write their scores by hand. It was exciting to be able to create printed notation directly with your computer, but, at that time, Finale required pages of cheat sheets to recall all of the keyboard shortcuts to use it. The first computer music notation program that I tried was Finale.

PS On that first C7th chord, it is probably better to go to a double stop on the 6th fret instead of the reverse slant I indicated. An absolutely accurate interpretation of Jerry’s nuanced delivery would be worthy of a PhD thesis, but that would not be nearly as much fun as giving the arrangement one’s own personal touch. Variations in the speed of the slides and runs are part of the emotional feel. There are several long slides, vibratos, and broad arpeggios. The values are pretty close, and I welcome any corrections or suggestions. The first nine bars were played out of meter. While working with the audio, please bear in mind the difficulty of interpreting the steel guitar within the Tuxguitar programme. The programme is quite good for standard guitar of seven strings and it is free. I have transcribed it here using Tuxguitar. This transcription is limited to pitches and approximate duration. These later performances by Jerry are some of my favourites, and many forum members will be familiar with this particular video. Atwood)Ĭharlie Christian guitar solo tab by Steven E.

Sort of an intermediate "slants workout".
Forward and reverse, but all two-strings only. I took the melody from a study by 19th century classical guitarist Fernando Sor and added a bass line to it to include 20 different slants. With all the threads about slants lately, this tab and video might be of interest.
