Re: music notation

[bernie arai]

i am also definitely not a programmer, and i really value the quality
and control that i get using lilypond (after migrating from finale). 
it's just a matter of making a paradigm shift from wysiwyg score
editting to text-based score engraving.

fwiw, i got finale 2000 to work on my linux box under wine
without too much hassle.  but i never ended up using it once i started
learning lilypond...

Later versions of Finale export to musicXML. Check to see if this is
supported by a newer version of notepad. If not, you may need to have help
from someone working with a full version of Finale.

Good luck,
