A wild crosspost appears!
Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation.

It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose.

It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data.

This is the release of version 0.4

Download: https://github.com/nilsgey/Laborejo/tarball/0.4

Dependencies: http://www.laborejo.org/documentation
Linux Instructions: Unpack, cd into the created directoy, execute:

./laborejo-qt
Then use the number- and cursor keys for immediate success!

Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus.
New since version 0.3 (highlights):

* Lyrics are visible under the tracks directly and aligned to their notes

* Nicer cursor :)

* New dynamics like fp and sfz.

* New commandset for note speed entry with the numblock.

* Colored always-visible Marker in the GUI to indicate track groups. Also displays small instrument name for better orientation

* Lilypond binary and pdf viewer are now a config variable

* More Subsitutions (assign a pre-defined group to host notes. Group gets transposed and scaled accordingly). Final Fantasy arpeggio, common melody figures etc.

* Many bugfixes and small improvements that make the program work like you expected it to do anyway
Most important known problems:

* This is Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced midis and PDFs will last forever.

* There is no built-in jack midi output yet. You have to export midi files.

* Documentation is nearly non-existent.

* Deleting selected objects may result in strange gui behaviour. Nothing a save/reload can't fix for now. 
Have fun, it would be nice to hear from you!
