Score Maker is a tiny Windows program that creates and prints musical scores. The program writes the staves only: it does not fill them with notes. It is designed to be useful for students and composers.
The program was written using Inprise C++ Builder 3.0. Full commented source and documentation are included, both in english and italian. The program is smart enough to choose the language when you run it (this is a useful feature of Inprise C++ Builder).
Since Windows programming is not my current interest, I decided to drop off the development of this program. If you want to improve it and need some help, I could try to explain you the code. But please be aware that I have not worked on this project in the last two years, and I could be not perfectly aware of what I did and how.
Since I still use sometimes this program, I am interested to port it under Linux (which is the operating system I use now). I will report here any news.
This is the main screen of Score Maker (italian version).

Download the program by selecting these links.
To download these files from an UNIX terminal, you can also write:
$ wget "http://www.oocities.org/zio_tom78/downloads/scoremaker-windows.zip" $ wget "http://www.oocities.org/zio_tom78/downloads/scoremaker-windows-source.zip"
To install it, decompress the first zip file in a temporary directory, then run the SETUP.EXE file.
Note: the program runs fine under Wine. I use it regularly on my Ubuntu Linux 8.04 laptop.
