If you want, eventually, to share your output with someone with a full-service notation program, you can export MusicXML or standard midi files.Daniel Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093101325234464791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-75700066957225750532011-03-20T00:39:00.938-07:002011-03-20T00:39:00.938-07:00Sure, Finale NotePad can do that.

I want to be able to create and print out a few measures of one part only, which I would then paste into the full piece. That is, one staff, one to three measures.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-44663419803549133802011-03-19T21:43:48.688-07:002011-03-19T21:43:48.688-07:00Right, but the limitation in NotePad is on the tot...Right, but the limitation in NotePad is on the total number of staves are in the piece, not how many you want to edit.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484703769762940788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-22415554377882947762011-03-19T16:27:28.275-07:002011-03-19T16:27:28.275-07:00Thanks!

One of the more mid-priced programs like Finale PrintMusic or Sibelius First will probably work fine for you. For free and open source, MuseScore is getting the most acclaim overall.<br /><br />Most programs these days can read and write MusicXML files so you can move music between programs. We're hoping that CPDL and other sites will offer more MusicXML files in the future, so you can do just this sort of editing no matter what program the original contributor used. You can see a full list of MusicXML software at:<br /><br />http://www.recordare.com/musicxml/community/softwareMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484703769762940788noreply@blogger.com
