Csound Scoring Software

Ascore

Ascore is a Csound front end for Linux. Ascore can be used to build Csound scores in a special track format in which note patterns are arranged in parallel columns with synchronized start times.

Platform: GNU / Linux, Csound

Midi Scoring Software

Mscore

Mscore is a Midi scoring tool for Linux. It can also be used to create ascii text dumps of Midi files. Mscore comes with a tool for converting a Csound score into an Mscore-type score which may then be converted into a Midi file. What differentiates Mscore from most other scoring tools is a special track format in which note patterns are arranged in parallel columns with synchronized start times. It is essentially the same idea incorporated into Ascore above, but for Midi files.
