What is the crowd's opinion of EasyABC?

From 3.5 billion comments

Are you just looking for notation software? EasyABC would be a good choice as ABC notation is commonly used in the 'trad' music community. thessession.org and Folk Tune Finder are good resources.

There's another way to do this: the abc music notation system. You can read about it here: https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/abcmiditutorial

There are lots of programs that can use the abc music system, and one of them converts abc notation into midi files. Check this out: http://www.nilsliberg.se/ksp/easyabc/

Hope that gives you an alternative to consider...
