Edgar Huckert's Music Notation Editor HUNoEd V3

Overview

Between 2014 and 2024 I wrote my own music notation editor called HUNoEd. The editor is completely written in C++ and uses heavily wxWidgets. To the wxWidgets team: thank you for creating and maintaining wxWxWidgets.

Some screenshots

classical medium size trio. The three-part trio is by Anton Filtz, a composer from the Mozart period.
a score with two parts. Shows a dialog for insertion/modification of a clef. Shows also some annotations, among them tempo changes for the MIDI player. These tempo changes are suppressed in printouts.
A two-part Jazz-like score showing guitar chords and a a dialog for the basic score settings. The chord symbols are transposable, i.e. they are changed if the score is transposed to an other tonality.

Main features of HUNoEd:

is portable between Windows and Linux
uses MusicXML as basic format
has a builtin MIDI player
can print
can export scores to LilyPond
is intended to be simple-to-use
