What are Reddit's favorite WYSIWYG Editor Apps?

I agree with everyone who says org-mode.

An alternative you might consider is Joplin. Distrotube had a good demo of the software.

Cheers.

Bookstack is an amazing wiki platform. I use it to document pretty much everything in my house from recipes to home maintenance, from travel logs to code snippets. I will say that I tend to lean into Gitea a bit more for code / snippets so that I can have proper revision history.

No he means 4/4 but for each beat (quarter-note), you will see eighth notes written like this. That means instead of playing straight eighth notes (split equally 2 to a beat), you are still playing 2 to a beat but holding the first one longer.

Here's an example

James has already replied saying "this is the fast paced environment we operate in, sorry you couldn't handle it". I'm paraphrasing but that's generally how it comes off.

FYI: You can run a local version of the MediaWiki software that Wikipedia uses on your own computer, copy over any WP infobox templates you like, and set up a full alternate Wikipedia to use for developing your own world.

in case you're curious, the same designer who's now helping with Audacity's design previously made the designs for the upcoming Musescore 4, and prior to that most of Paint 3D and parts of Powerpoint and Ubuntu Mobile.

My summary of the main conclusions of this discussion is:

• It should be easier for potential writing contributors to access the version control system.
• There should be a similarly available list of articles that are felt to be in the most pressing need of update.
• There should be a developer discussion board, also made more available than the current one.
• There are web development and design professionals willing to work on your site. I'm sure that they recognize that updating Erowid would be both a huge societal contribution and a great portfolio piece. Hopefully they'll contact you directly.
• The design, obviously, could use updating and a separate mobile stylesheet.
• The central point, I think, is that an outward-facing, specific, inviting page is needed to engage potential volunteers. If current projects and discussions are on public display, people are much more likely to jump in and contribute. Much of the "dev" stuff, like article renovations and beta stylesheets, could be developed in a piecemeal, version-controlled or wikied system, accessible by those who register and maybe write a short bio. This kind of system is very easy to set up using existing software (MediaWiki is the most obvious choice; Discourse is another good one). It could be hosted on a quarantined system like your Wordpress sites, or even on a separate domain by someone like me. We'd just need your opinions, suggestions, and ultimate approval.
• This kind of project could be grouped with a Kickstarter project to cover the additional resources and time you'd expend (along with some original costs, hopefully).

It's your website, and your approach built Erowid's current success. We just consider this project important and beneficial, and we're eager to contribute. Thanks again!

Typora is new, in beta and currently free. Haven’t seen word on a pricing model but looks interesting.

https://typora.io

Scrivener is the obvious replacement with a new High Sierra and iOS version due soon. They’re promising not to go to subscriptions but note the new version will be a paid upgrade.

Also worth considering Sublime Text coupled with some extensions.

Eg: https://github.com/SublimeText-Markdown/MarkdownEditing

Page: https://cryptpad.fr/drive/#/2/drive/view/G+83I7JiOToddretjlv+gVIB40dc8VgfFWkoroJBlMM/p/

Key: 4FNpjM#si8qUHwiv5BbDuL Edit: reddit formatting screws this. "*" Before the first "4" and after the first "M"

Each folder seems to require another different key, not sure about those...

You should try Joplin. "Joplin is an open source note-taking app. Capture your thoughts and securely access them from any device".

1. Yes.
2. markdown but with a WYSWYG editor if you're not familiar with it.
3. Available on all platform.
4. Yes. Edit one note = one md file (no folders)
5. Also yes.

Did I mention, it's an open source project with a heavily active community.
You can also pay the Dev to host your encrypted files for a small fee. More options and services are available, check their website.

Edit, didn't read correctly, as you tried? Joplin ? Not sure what you mean about the external structure. But one note = one file one Joplin. Also, as the files are encrypted folders are irrelevant.
If I understand you correctly, you won't be able to edit your files with another editor without Joplin (even if within the app you can launch and edit with your favorite editor). Files are encrypted. Now without the encryption you could edit them but still no folders. Sry

CryptPad!!!

https://cryptpad.fr/

It functions largely like Google Docs, you can collaborate, share, etc. Open source, client side encrypted, totally private, 1 GB free storage. Been using it for a while, works great.

Musescore actually has a wide variety of instruments. When you create a new score, you'll want to change the drop-down menu from "Common instruments" to "All instruments". You can also download another soundfont and replace the default one if you feel the default is not realistic enough. Soundfonts explained on Musescore website

If you really dislike Musescore, you can try Noteflight or Lilypond, which are free. I haven't used them though, so I can't really tell you how good they are.

Edit: typo

> I haven’t found any great Markdown writing app available on Linux

I'm curious what your requirements are here - Markdown support is pretty basic for essentially any text editor, but if you're looking for something more graphical, StackEdit is pretty nice. I've used it on occasion when at foreign machines and I don't have a Vim or Spacemacs instance handy.

It sounds like Joplin would be a good fit, unless you need OneNote-style drawing/handwriting support. Joplin can be entirely offline, or you can sync with a local folder, self-hosted network drive, webdav, or nextcloud server (it also supports regular ol’ dropbox, onedrive, etc.)

It’s FOSS, actively developed, and has great mobile and desktop apps.

It supports client-side end-to-end encryption as well, so even if you choose to use dropbox/onedrive/AWS to facilitate syncing, you can mitigate any privacy concerns.

Ninsheetmusic has a good amount of sheet music, but not every track, in piano.

If you play something else, Musescore has sheet music arrangements in piano and other instruments made by fans if you search for Professor Layton.

Hope this helps :)

I use Typora for any documents longer or more complex than a github readme, especially something I have math typesetting in.

Otherwise I'll just look at it raw through vscode or whatever text editor I'm using.

AR is your go to then. not everyone wants to hear that, but except in edge cases id argue an AR is better for home and self defense than a shotgun, and depending on local laws is good for more hunting than most think. you should be able to do a budget build within your budget, i managed to do so with the same one. Here is a link to an Texas comrades build guide that is spot on for more information.

There was an interview released today with a guy named Mark Graham who supervises the preparation of all the sheet music for John Williams, and he said they're "just finishing up Episode VIII now."

The whole interview is actually pretty awesome! Lots of info and anecdotes about how Williams runs the recording sessions on SW.

The website looks to be built with MediaWiki, which is the same software Wikipedia runs on. MediaWiki was actually built and open-sourced by the Wikipedia founders (AKA the Wikimedia Foundation). I've used it myself on occasion, it's a solid piece of software.

CKEditor had this rant a few years ago, that starts with:

> Every once in a while some developer notices that there’s still no perfect WYSIWYG editor for the web on the market

It took them years...

https://ckeditor.com/blog/ContentEditable-The-Good-the-Bad-and-the-Ugly/

As good as it is, CKEditor 5 costs about $1 per user per month. If you have 1000 users you'd be paying about $12000 USD per year which is quite frankly ridiculous.

https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/pricing/

Ex-staffers have written a long letter detailing how the company's work culture is toxic, its rhetoric unmet by action and belied by hypocrisy and that:

>Put bluntly, the single biggest shared experience of former staff is a residual feeling of fear. Fear to speak out about the atmosphere we were immersed in, and fear of repercussions even after we have left. Hell, the company once set up a staff committee, under the guise of assembling a team of well-respected individuals to tackle cross-departmental projects, who at their first meeting discovered the actual main task of the group was to address the culture of fear in the business. Well, we can tell you now, you could have asked any single person in the company how to address it, and every one of them could have told you the answer - but you wouldn’t have liked it.

I've used many programs for my note taking over the last 15 years or so, main ones were: KeepNote, Zim Wiki, Evernote, a bunch of other outliners, and most recently it's just been a "notes" project of markdown files in my regular programming editor (phpstorm).

But I was missing the WYSIWYG feature, and I finally found what I've been looking for all these years yesterday... https://typora.io/

• Really nice WYSIWYG for markdown
• Lets you just use regular folders + .md files, so easy to commit to git and sync to other devices privately if you want to
• You can paste images in
• You can edit tables, and press ctrl+alt+up/down to move rows up and down
• You can customize the styles with a .css file, so I'm going to making the headings different colours
• Optional file browser / outline view of headings on the left
• Works very well with opening multiple windows quickly, and without them all wasting heaps of space with buttons/icons n shit - a rare feature
• Auto-save is off by default, but you can turn it on

You should consider Musescore. Not the most advanced or intuitive (but no notation software is intuitive) but it's free and development is backed up by a very dedicated dev team and contributors.

Since it runs on MediaWiki, you can just search on Google for anything you don't know how to do. The most common commands for links are the following:

[URL Text] -> Same as Reddit's [Text](URL)

[[Page]] -> It points to an in-wiki link. For example [[Scion]] would point to the Scion class wiki page.

[[Page|Text]] -> Same as before, but you can set a custom text for the link. For example: [[Righteous Fire|The most interesting skill in the game]]

Anything else can be easily found out by googling, but if you got any questions, please ask.

I can recommend open source Joplin. It supports end-to-end encrypted notes and is available for Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and iOS.

Using Bitwarden for notes feels a bit clumpsy if you have a lot of them.

Joplin is a free, open-source, and fully-featured note-taking and to-do application which can handle a large number of markdown notes organized into notebooks and tags. It offers end-to-end encryption and can sync through OneDrive, Dropbox, and more.

musescore is open source and linux native. There is an official AppImage available or your distro may have it in their repositories. https://musescore.org/en/download

A text based option is lilypond, which has GUI editors like frescobaldi or denemo:
https://lilypond.org/easier-editing.en.html

Ok, so, assuming the version of Musescore you're using is the latest available from their website, I took the liberty of scanning every dll file it installs and the exe with Virustotal and it comes back 100% clean on all of them.

There are a few possibilities here, but primarily I would say that you might have misconstrued his ability to immediately 'fix' the problem with the fact that first it must be determined that:

1. There is a problem.

2. They're allowed to fix the problem.

3. That the antivirus, in fact, is the root cause, and if not the root cause has been identified. I am going to go out on a limb and say that virus definitions are not at fault here for it being blocked.

4. That despite what you might believe, maybe there is something wrong with the current version of Musescore and before it is white listed it needs to be vetted by the admin team first.

In IT no promises are made unless the thing promised already exists. I don't know is a much better answer than "sure" followed by "Whoops, nevermind" a day later.

FYI: Most DAW's will let you export a piano roll to a midi file and then you can use Finale Notepad (http://www.finalemusic.com/products/finale-notepad/) to open those midi files and it will be put into music notation. Hopefully this helps!

The obvious answer is - musescore. It's free, it does guitar tab, and you can copy tab to notation. And the notation looks a lot better than GuitarPro (IMO).

You will need to understand about timing - how to choose a time signature, note values (durations) and so on - but there are plenty of sites to learn that, and I also recommend looking at sheet music for songs you already know, to see how they show rhythms.

go onto the rest in between. in the palettes, there should be a category called “beam properties” or something like it. select it and choose the option that has the two notes beamed together.

this shows how to do it.

Sibelius and Finale are the two "professional" programs that people use, but I'd encourage you to check out MuseScore. It's free and does all the stuff you'll likely need to do.

Cryptpad is a fully open source productivity suite that includes a forms/survey creator here. You can use their official hosted instances, other public instances, or self-host your own.

Not sure if you've tried it but Joplin is a pretty great notes app. You can run a sync server on unraid and install the clients everywhere or also install a container client and access it remotely (though that last one is a bit cumbersome).

https://joplinapp.org/

Hey just in case you ever need to hear how it sounds, you can download a free program called musescore (musescore.org) and you can enter the music into it note by note and it will give you an idea of what it should sound like .

The chords are F#m9-B13, followed by Em9-A13, but you're right it's implying two different keys alternately - first E major, then D major. So there's four key signature options as I see it:
1. E major with accidentals for the D major bars;
2. D major with accidentals for the E major bars;
3. Blank key sig with accidentals all over;
4. Take the average: A major, with fewer accidentals, evenly distributed.

Personally I don't know which would be easiest to read. I think my preference would be for D major, because it feels like that's where it might end up resolving, if it ever did.

As for the rhythm, it seems to be swing overall - not just in the drums - although each instrument is interpreting the swing value differently (or it's been set at random on a DAW or whatever).
If you thinking of this as 2 bars per chord (in fast 4/4 or slow 2/2?) then the drums have a quarter-note triplet pattern at one point. Otherwise the swing 8ths don't seem quite at triplet strength.
In jazz, swing is not normally notated at all - i.e. 8ths are written as normal, maybe with "swing" written above. Only anything that is clearly in regular triplets would be written as such.
There is a metric modulation sign sometimes used in rock, but that indicates (literally) a triplet shuffle rhythm, not really swing. Swing itself is in the region between straight and triplet feel - nearer straight at fast tempos, nearer triplets at slow tempos.
Sorry this isn't much help!

I found about this today, but I haven't tried it yet. It is free and multi platform, so perhaps give it a try: https://musescore.org/

For really simple stuff I still use a copy of finale notepad 2007 (last free version).

To my knowledge, the heavy weights are still finale and sibellius, but I find them overkill for my needs.

I hear people singing the praises of DokuWiki quite often. MediaWiki is also a reasonable one, and obviously works well since it's what runs Wikipedia.

Look at this: https://www.bookstackapp.com/

My personal wiki is xwiki, it can be customized to the last bit, but it is a moloch. For our documentation, we have settled on BookStack.

Ok sorry about that.. how about bookstack ? I use it for my daily note taking in my current IT job also has great structure. It's open source, just throw it in a lamp stack and your good to go. https://www.bookstackapp.com

Another vote for Joplin. I've been using it for more than 2 years now and it ticks all the boxes for me (open-source, cross-platform, vim keybindings, notes in markdown, End-to-end encryption). While it is marketed as an open-source alternative to Evernote, I've found it to be much more than that, especially with the introduction of plugin-api last year.

Keep a close watch at Joplin Forum and it's more likely that the feature that you want has already been implemented by others as plugins :)

Same. I started using Joplin to keep track of what I'm working on. It also makes it easier for me to feel motivated to work on my game because I can pick something off the checklist and feel like I'm making actual progress. Instead of trying to "finish the game" and feeling overwhelmed, I can "finish animations for enemy" and feel accomplished.

I'd like to introduce you to Joplin.

It's a markdown editor where you choose a local file destination or cloud host of your choice and can see your notes on both Android, Windows, Linux etc. Has encryption of the files/notes as well!

Works wonders, I've used it loads in my IT career.

Ich hab Guitar Pro auch noch in Version 6, hatte mir das zugelegt, als ich Gitarre gespielt hab. Mich hat nur gestört, dass ein paar Kleinigkeiten noch so optimal sind, wenn ich auf andere Instrumente gehe - man merkt halt, dass der Fokus auf Gitarre liegt. Eine gute Alternative für Noten allgemein ist Musescore (kostenlos, Open Source)

This post includes an estimated timeline, which puts the stable release of Musescore 4 at 15 December.

It sounds like a massive task, it could easily be pushed back. Wait and see, I guess.

From the Handbook

There are a few links to alternative soundfonts at the bottom of the page including a few piano-specific ones. There's also detailed installation instructions. Hope this helps!

I can definitely understand your point and I do agree that the opportunity may not be a good fit for everyone. It may, however, be a better fit for someone that requires such an internship as part of their studies, and we are able to support and fulfill such requirements for academic credit.

I am not sure if you are familiar with MuseScore, but it is a free open source music notation application paired with an online community. MuseScore, like many open source projects, is built for the community, by the community.

As a free community-driven open source product, even many aspects of software development, documentation, support, etc. are volunteer efforts of the community.

There are, however, some internship opportunities that are paid, but these are done exclusively in cooperation with supporting partners, for example, with Google Summer of Code - https://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/google-summer-code

Regarding specifically our new efforts in marching percussion, our aim is to create the best solution in the market for marching percussion notation and make available absolutely free everyone. This opportunity is appropriate for those interested to participate in and support this community effort and goal.

How did anyone think this was a good idea?

I did actually. I wrote the MuseScore and the MuseScore Songbook app. I'm also one of the main developer of the free and open source music notation software https://musescore.org

I read this article https://www.nngroup.com/articles/stop-password-masking/ long time ago. I still agree with a large part of this article.

Of course, the password is not transmitted or stored as plaintext! And, if one can see your password in a glance, you probably need a stronger password ;)

By journal you mean diary?

Anyway, mentioning bookstack as it should be mentioned. Though its more like wiki, documentation organization, than a daily thing, But of course making books for years and chapters for months and pages for days is very easy.

I'm a fan of BookStack - It's a Laravel-based wiki-style framework with a few differences. It's designed with "shelves", "books", "chapters" and "pages", but there is some flexibility and the ability to easily link between sections.

I personally like it a bit more than the total free-form wiki nature. It's excellent for notes and documentation.

Here is a demo to play with

I put the text on http://mylifesuxnow.com through a HTML to Markdown converter, manually formatted the part without formatting by looking at the screenshots, then dumped the whole thing into https://stackedit.io/ and exported "Using template".

I started doing this a few years ago with Joplin sync'd to my Nextcloud. I got tired of trying to copy notes from computer to computer. "Where did I write that snippet to do X again?"

Musescore isn't designed for playback, so you'd probably have to mess around with the synthesizer in ways I'm not familiar with. This should hopefully be a lot more fleshed out in musescore 4 though.

The easiest way to get a nice sounding orchestral sound would be to use a DAW and get some free plugins. DSK Overture and VSCO2 orchestra have decent strings (both are free), and Spitfire has their LABS Strings (free, but with weird panning) and BBCSO Discover (free, but you have to fill out a survey and wait 2 weeks, or pay $50). If you don't have a DAW, you can follow this tutorial to make these free libraries into a soundfont you can use in musescore: https://musescore.org/en/node/293510

According to the release timeline, version 3.3 is currently scheduled to be released on October 7 or 8.

In the meantime, you can download a release candidate.

Tu peux trouver des tonnes de partitions au format pdf ou midi sur la communauté Musescore. La majorité sont pour le piano, mais il y en a spécifiquement pour violon ou des arrangement complets qui incluent le violon (j'ai vu Elephant Gun de Beirut, par ex.).

Et si tu sais lire la musique, tu peux toujours plus ou moins transposer du piano vers n'importe quel instrument et éditer une tablature. Tu peux faire ca sous le logiciel Musescore.

*Ce commentaire n'est pas sponsorisé

If you can read sheet music, you can also try musescore, which is free and comes with a range of different instruments, including electronic ones. Some of the sound fonts aren't great, but luckily it's easy to install new ones (some of which also happen to be free).

Try MuseScore. They've been free/open source for years. I used to use it when I was stuck on Linux and I didn't think it was very good six years ago but it's improved a lot since then. Your Linux distro probably already has a package for it.

I typically use MuseScore, which is free and I've found easy to use with a fair number of features. It also has a moderately active community on the website where you can browse scores and share your own.

Download MuseScore (or any free music notating app) put the rhythms in a template and then you can have it play them back to you and it will follow the notes as it plays. Very helpful tool.

For free? I'd suggest either MuseScore, which in my experience was rather buggy but easy to use, or LilyPond, which produced better results but involved transcribing the music in a text format like a computer programming language.

Gamepedia is owned Curse, which is owned by Twitch (which is owned by Amazon) It's only natural that they have some ads for Curse and Twitch on them.

I'm not sure how its "messier" than Wikipedia either. Both Gamepedia's wikis and Wikipedia run on Mediawiki. The only difference is that Gamepedia modified the interface to be Minecraft-themed. They have the exact same functionality, and pretty much all menus and buttons are in the same place.

Can you tell us why the search function is bad, exactly? It works just fine as far as I can tell.

Use an existing wiki engine, even if you're using your own website. Unless you dedicate an enormous amount of time to it you cannot possibly create something more robust than the wiki making tools that have already been created.

Examples:

• <https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki>
• <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki>

You can also explore https://www.bookstackapp.com/ , it should work on any popular PHP hosting. This is if you want to write a book using it.

If you want to build a website / blog around your book then Wordpress is good.

Great job on this application! I hope it's very successful, it's definitely needed -- Forms.ID is a great addition to CryptPad.fr as privacy-focused apps that can replace Google Forms.

My suggestion is adding easy ways to invite users without a hassle, such as via adding multiple links

Joplin is a great alternative to Evernote. It's a markdown based application, which can be limiting but it is open source, and you can sync your notes to your own cloud, even enabling encryption on it. It also has a good web clipping feature, which I use a lot.

&#x200B;

https://joplinapp.org/

> I use it for notes and such too. For some reason it is a lot easier than an actual note taking app for me...

Can recommend open source Joplin. It supports end-to-end encrypted notes and is available for Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and iOS.

It is amazing.

Another option is Joplin, a free, open-source, cross-platform (available for desktop and mobile) markdown editor that supports several storage providers (currently Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or the local filesystem) to synchronize one's notes across as many devices as needed. The downside would be that it's electron-based, and I know there's many that dislike this.

Joplin ha tutte le caratteristiche che richiedi. Non ha la parte server ma puoi condividere i file delle note su un tuo server privato Nextcloud o Owncloud (oltre che mille altre piattaforme).

Immediately come to mind 2 options from the 2 major music notation companies, Finale and Sibelius.

Sibelius First is the stripped down version of Sibelius. Running between $80-100US, it's a pretty powerful tool. I use it every day and I couldn't be happier with it.

Finale PrintMusic is the stripped down version of Finale. I don't know much about it, since I haven't used it, but I've heard nothing but good things. PrintMusic 2014 seems to be priced everywhere right around $100US.

Both programs will help your son explore music and eventually create professional-looking scores if he so desires. Plus, they will both run on laptops. Unless the computer is an absolute dinosaur, he shouldn't have a problem.

I'm assuming you're talking about OSX 10.10 Yosemite (the latest version), not Mavericks, which is the previous version.

MakeMusic posted this regarding compatibility issues with Yosemite. According to this post, Finale 2011 crashes upon creation of a new score.

Here is another post about the issue, which says:

> To be clear, Finale 2012 and earlier are not supported in Yosemite. While results vary, there are known problems. If you’re using Finale 2012 or earlier, I don’t recommend updating to Yosemite at this time. We’ll provide more information on this blog as it becomes available.

As far as I can tell, no further information has been posted on the blog, and this would seem to imply that MakeMusic has no intentions of fixing any issues with old versions of Finale.

The two most popular ones are Finale and Sibelius. A common opinion is that Sibelius is easier to learn, but Finale is ultimately more powerful. They're really pretty similar though. The full versions are about $600, but they also sell to students, teachers, and churches for half price, and you can buy a copy at this price on Amazon without needing to provide proof that you are in one of these groups. There are also "lite" versions of each for far cheaper--try Finale Notepad.

You don't strictly need a MIDI keyboard, but it's definitely helpful. You can just enter the notes in manually, and it's not much slower once you get the shortcuts down. There are two types of MIDI connections:

• USB, which allows you to simply connect to the computer with a USB A/B cable
• DIN-5 (standard MIDI connector), and you'll need a USB-to-MIDI cable (actually a cheap MIDI interface).

I don't use MuseScore but I thought I would fire it up and see about your points.

> Musescore doesn't have shortcut keys so entering music is much slower than Sibelius.

It looks like it has a shortcut key available for just about every function it has. Some you have to assign but plenty are already built in.

> There are many things you can't copy and paste, like pedal lines, and entire sections with all lyrics and barlines and tempo markings.

You can copy and paste pedal lines and lyrics and lots of other things. I'm not sure about barlines and tempo markings are not supported yet. The vast majority of elements can by copy and pasted, however.

> Its panoramic/continuous view (as opposed to page view) freezes in large scores.

I have no way to check that.

> You will never have decent sounding playback in a way you could with NotePeformer in one of the other programs.

Here is what the Musescore devs say:

>> Probably the most exciting part of our plans include a new audio engine as well as VST support. We plan to implement integration with Steinberg's VSTi SDK, while making sure that our system will integrate with NotePerformer. To that end, we are in constant communication with the engineers from the NotePerformer team to ensure that the integration goes smoothly.

So I would say that you are half-wrong to mostly wrong.

What, you can't do a 19 fret strecth!? 😜

There's some handy keyboard shortcuts that do what you want.

https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tablature#edit-notes

You play the left hand part an octave higher until the end of the dashes.

There is also one that makes you play it an octave lower. You can read and see the symbols here.

I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly.

Are you asking about how to create the pickup measure / upbeat? It's explained here:

https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-operations#duration

TL;DR: Right-click an empty part of the measure and select Measure Properties

While the nominal measure duration is 3/4, the actual measure duration can be set to 1/4.

That's called "cross-staff beaming" and is frequently used in piano music. Noteflight doesn't support this but MuseScore does. See here for documentation.

You can create a blank score with your instruments of choice and save them in the templates folder for later use. It should appear in the start center like the other templates.

Maybe a keyboard and some piano lessons for kids?

My son is 10 and he's only just getting used to basic features on Ableton. He grew up around me producing, but I didn't force anything on him. He plays guitar and violin at school. I think getting a child to play an instrument is a much better idea because later on those skills can be applied to producing in a DAW. It's also a good age to develop creativity.

As your kid grows you can introduce to scoring software for kids which I think might be easier for early composition and It'll become a very useful skill to read/study and write music notation. MuseScore is free :)

Another thing that might be interesting is Melodics. If you have a drum controller like an MPD, or Maschine, your kid can tap along to the beats, or melodies (requires midi keyboard). I'm not sure if 5 is young for this but my 10 year old loves it.

I'm not sure if you're a musician yourself. If you are make some music together. Don't focus on the technical aspects on it - that'll bore a child to death. Focus on the playing around on the instruments.

My 2 cents. Hope that helps.

You could maybe use MuseScore. They have a way to upload scores online with embedded playback.
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/share-scores-online

The other online (only) notation site I know is noteflight.com, but I think there's a small limit to the number of scores you can start on the free version.

> Music

I'd like to add on top of this.

Musescore is a brilliant notating software, that's 100% free and open source. If you're a more "traditional" musician (like myself), Musescore is my go-to.

Cockos REAPER is a great DAW worth looking into, as it is professional quality, but is free (evaluation version). There are a bunch of plugins that can be found online. I'm just getting into it myself, but there are many possibilities with it.

Nested tuplets is the term you'll want to google. They're written exactly as you'd expect.

I sincerely urge you not to buy Finale or Sibelius (they are ridiculously overpriced), use the free software MuseScore instead!

I have been using Sibelius for the last seven years or so, it's OK and gets the job done. MuseScore however is both free and has a much more intuitive interface, runs lighter and has better playback. I found out about it about a month ago and since then I've written arrangements ranging from marching band to piano solo without any trouble whatsoever -- I'm never going back!

If you want to spend money on notation software, Sibelius is vastly better than Finale, but I recommend using money on a DAW instead (as I see people are suggesting under) and use the free notation software available.

Wikia is not hard at all, but it abounds with that glyph on all accounts.

This listing has absurd modifying ability but hosting is not on that listing on it's own (A big ol' computational-communication box has to work hosting...), but if any chaps in our community own a box of that sort, it could work! (Also it looks all wiki-y and official and all that)

Any not in that I do not know much of.

ANNOTATION: Boards on our forum contain a built-in wiki! If this path is took, it could simply things.

>is a wikipedia-like site possible, where most anyone can contribute information?

Such sites are simply called wikis, and are very easy to make. In fact, Wikipedia published their software so that anyone can use it.

Turning Erowid into a wiki would certainly be possible, but I think it would be too big a change for the administrators to stomach. Also, making it too easy to edit would reduce the reliability of the information. I'm thinking more of a semi-private wiki for developers, from which pages get updated manually.

>could the burden be shared? there is simply too many compounds and too much information for a small number of people to be the only contributors.

Exactly. That's what we're working for.

If you have not yet looked at Bookstack I find it to be slick. It's easy as pie to use, and has a really nice formatting system. I finally got my documentation out of my head with it!

I recently "TIL"ed about StackEdit which is an offline-capable Markdown editor app with synchronization to most common cloud storage providers.

It supports embedded Mermaid for diagrams and Katex for rendering LaTeX math expressions.

It's pretty nifty.

Edit: Looks like the host didn't like the traffic. Here's a mirror: https://stackedit.io/viewer#!provider=gist&amp;gistId=b9a1852a0a17e334f041&amp;filename=wfre

This is not my work, the link was originally published on the UnknownCheats forum, but I thought here would be a good place to share :)

Both the medium draft, as well as the google docs draft, are (very ironically) asking me to sign in.

Could you please host a draft/collab on a privacy-respecting site, maybe cryptpad? [ https://cryptpad.fr ]

I'm very much happy to help contribute, I just need to protect myself while doing so. Thanks :)

Yeah, this is a good one. If we’re thinking the same thing, the whole service is called CryptPad and it has a ton of services similar to Google Suite, including cloud storage called CryptDrive. It’s a pleasant, easy to use alternative to Google Suite.

Depends against whom.

Against an outside attacker, given that you use secure, unique passwords?
Very.

Against Google, who is able to read all your mail, view all your documents, and track all your browsing history through the web via google.analytics?
Not at all.

I would suggest using Cryptpad as a secure drive.

Icebreakers

> What's the ideal end of a roleplay look like for you?

I feel like my roleplays tend to be more open-ended/never-ending, so they tend to lose steam or have one or both of us wander off before they "end." A couple have "ended" with a sort of, "And they continued to fuck kinkily ever-after," which pretty much worked.

> What's your happy place for writing?

I can't stand trying to write anything on my phone; I need a real keyboard and preferable a nice chair! My ideal/usual environment includes a mechanical keyboard and a nice monitor. I use Typora to write all of my prompts and most of my replies, and the now-largely-defunct /r/InboxRevamp/ for managing messages (I cannot live without it and don't know what I'll ever do if it really dies).

> What's your favorite subject to rant about?

Either baseball or pizza.

Shameless Self-Promotion

I've got a lot of prompts and more about me in my profile! If you're a woman who enjoys writing, I encourage you to peruse!

Ich hätte einen Vorschlag, der nicht ganz deine Frage beantwortet, aber vielleicht trotzdem hilfreich ist.

Ich würde zunächst einfach irgendeine Notzienapp nehmen. Sei es OneNote, GoodNotes, Notability oder sogar die Notizen App im iPad.

Danach würde ich die handschriftlichen Notizen in Joplin abtippen. Joplin ist ein ziemlich mächtiges Tool, das so ziemlich alles kann, bis auf einen Stylus unterstützen.

Diese Methode hat meiner Meinung nach drei große Vorteile gegenüber dem reinen mitschreiben per Stylus:

1. Du kannst dir eine Wissensdatenbank aufbauen, bei der Themen miteinander verknüpft sind und per STRG+F durchsucht werden können. Das mag jetzt gerade langweilig klingen, aber das kann dir sehr viel Zeit bei Klausurvorbereitungen und dem Schreiben von Haus- und Abschlussarbeiten sparen.
2. Während der Vorlesung musst du dich auch auf das Zuhören konzentrieren. Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass es ungemein hilft, wenn ich zeitlich versetzt und mit voller Konzentration nochmal das Wissen aus der Vorlesung in meinen eigenen Worten und in meiner eigenen Struktur aufschreibe.
3. Joplin ist komplett frei und unterstützt alle möglichen Plattformen. Zusätzlich bist du nicht an komischen Abo- und Lizenzmodelle gebunden, bei denen sich das Unternehmen plötzlich entscheiden kann, mehr Geld zu verlangen, die Funktionen zu beschneiden oder das Angebot vollständig einzustampfen.

I have a large series of personal notes and resources organized in joplin. Because of link rot, most of the links to resources I enter I also take the time to embed the file or an archived page created with "Save Page WE" in my browser.

What notes app are you using?

(If you're open to suggestions, I would highly recommend Joplin with end-to-end encryption turned on and paired through a free Dropbox account https://joplinapp.org/ )

Oh yeah, I forgot!

I've only ever used the Musescore software rather than anything online. In fact, it has a lot to do with me that Musescore-only links (those to Musescore.com) on this sub are now banned.

Anyway, original OP, here's the software, the site you'll need:

https://musescore.org/en

And here's Musescore the website/social network/sharing site/etc. (whatever it's supposed to be):

https://musescore.com/

That first single beat is an anacrusis, which is part of the initial score set up, or at any point afterwards as per that link.

The ‘having the flute part by itself because nothing else is playing’ is the Hide Blank Stave I initially linked to and I what I thought you were asking about

During the improv sections, the trumpet, trombone, and guitar are certainly swinging (or not swinging) however and whenever they want, because they can.

The rhythm section - the banjo, steel guitar, and drums - are not swinging. You can check this by tapping your foot to the constant beat and noticing that every banjo strum/drum hit lands at the same time as your foot - that's straight time quarter notes aka "four on the floor," with no swinging eighth notes nor triplets. At no time are they emphasizing or favoring the "back end" of the beat, a la dotted-eighth + sixteenth or quarter + eighth triplet rhythm.

Mind you, I don't really care if it's of the Swing genre or not; I'm no gatekeeper. But OP's original observation was that the backing rhythm is not swung is correct. I'd be happy to lindy to it all the same.

New marching percussion soundfont and improvements to percussion notation/playback are coming in MuseScore 2.3. Should be out before summer. More info - https://musescore.org/en/node/271033

If you felt comfortable with Logic, then that's the thing to go for you. Any other advice would probably be counter productive. You liked the workflow, you felt comfortable using a Mac, so go for it.

If you want to write for orchestra, you should also get this to scribble down notations (it's free and great and there are alot of mods/plugins for it): https://musescore.org/en
