Susan, thanks for replying, and the help would be much appreciated. I think the programme is worth pursuing.

I'm off to relatives for a few days, but e-mail me back next Thursday or so and I will walk (via email) you through the installation from source. It's not hard, and it looks like a great program.

I´ve been using ubs for about a month and a half, and after finding (stumbling, falling, lurching, pick one...) my way through the install, and installation of extra packages, everything is running smoothly at last. I´m a full time writer and composer of mainly classical and film/doc/ad music, so getting all this working smoothly is of some importance. And with further tweaks to the system, i´m enjoying a stability, speed, smoothness, and relability that i´d never expected to get with more commercially inclined os´s. (Win, Mac, etc...) It´s a singularly rewarding feeling to use a complete solution geared specifically for audio/video use, and my thanks and appreciation go to the ubuntustudio devs for their efforts. Thanks chaps! Long may this distro reign and mature.... In the process of setting up a working environment, i´ve been trying more than one notation editor programme or component. Those included in other programmes, like rosegarden are functional, but lack a couple of bits here and there related to an intuitive workflow. Noteedit does fairly well, and the evolution of that, Canorus, seems to be making headway as well. I have another, that i ask the ubuntustudio team to consider for inclusion. Mscore, or musescore.  (by Werner Schweer, the developer of Muse.) This programme, even in it´s juvenile state, is already usuable, and seems to hold much promise for a notation solution for chaps like me who write notes for a living, but need the import/export/ channeling components to feed into a performance end result. (and i´m currently doing this with Reaper, in Wine.) Is there a programme submission list or a procedure i need to follow to have this considered? As i´m very new at linux the deb building from source process is still beyond me, so to access a deb of this programme from the usual repositories would be a welcome bonus. Regards to all in this festive season, Alex Stone. </blockquote></div></div><pre></pre> -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users" target="_blank"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users</a> </blockquote></div>
