Have you seen Lilypond? http://lilypond.org/


I've tried it before, but ended up with MuseScore for everything.

What I'm thinking about is more like this: http://www.arkkra.com/

A problem I see in music scoring software is that they are waay to complicated. You end up with all the possibilities in that world even when you just need a few features in your own corner.

What I'd like would be a way to really efficiently do a jazz leadsheet like you'd see in a fakebook. That cuts the notation down quite a lot. The idea is that you could type in something from an existing sheet really quickly in order to do things like edit it or change the key...or you could bang out something from transcribing.

Spend some time getting it to have a good handwritten look on output.

After that, add just enough stuff to do big band (or small group) charts. But no more.
