Score Maker for Windows

Index

Introduction to the Program

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.

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.
