  Hi,

  this may be a strange request but I am looking for a program (freeware) to write musical notes. It should look like

  (made with Canorus) but less ambiguous - you can't easily tell the second tone in the above graphic, which is an E, from an F.

  theoretically i could write them down by hand, but then they'll look inhomogeneous and this will give people strange thoughts (yes this is supposed to become a challenge :) ).

  thanks!

  would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?...

  I think one easily sees that it is an E.

  It seems to put all notes one or two pixels higher than you wish it to be. Maybe you can let it draw the notes and add the lines afterward¿

  sorry yoco but the setup won't work on my machine... apparently some 16bit/32bit incompatibility. anyone has something else?

  You could always use a notation software like Finale Notepad (finalemusic.com, down for maintenance currently) or Sibelius (www.sibelius.com) and take a screen capture (PRTSCN button on Windows, not sure on Macs) and paste it into an image editor.
