JComposer aim to be a complete

to:
- 100% Pure Java application
(based on JDK1.4.2 - Java2D)
- High quality WYSIWYG notation
editor
- Intuitive mouse gesture
interface
- Fast keyboard editing
(as we have with source code editors)
- Custom and automatic notation
layout engine
- High quality score rendering
- Full MIDI support
- Music knoweledge modules,
for computer aided composition
- Plugin framework
- Web modules, for on-line
music score publishing
- Web services, for on-line
music score services
- Open APIs.
JComposer is a 8 years old
project that Sonicle resarted many
times, following new Java API changes.
After working on a new rewrite using Java2D and JDK1.4, we decided to
make JComposer an Open Source project so that people may help make it
a full featured product on any platform.
The current sources are available
for evaluation and brainstorming on the new directions to take.
Any developer interested in the project may help here.
