The contents of this page were last updated on 2007/08/01. Many things may have changed in the meanwhile.
The goal of this page is the following:
- suppose that I find a musical sheet I like on cpdl, but there is an error and I don't own the program that created it
- suppose that I'm uploading a sheet to cpdl and I would like to put it in a format that most musical typesetting programs could read
- suppose that I'm sending a friend a sheet I wrote, but we use different programs, and I want to be sure he can read it…
…then I will need to know which programs can read/write which formats…
