#!/bin/sh doesn't show

[Daniel Doyle]

Hey guys,

Thinking of trying to setup a music based 'how-to do said shizzle in
Ubuntu' website. Basing knowledge on the FFADO libraries etc, there needs
to be a better community surrounding music production on Linux. For
example, a piece of software that will recognise Sibelius files? That'd be
ace, I know they're not open source however Open/Libre Office manged to
recognise .docs.

I'm saying this as a Uni student studying music and have used Ubuntu since
7.04, yet have to keep switching back to Windows just because of the
software
