Description
Songwrite2 is a small application to write music and songs without using the musical notation.

Thanks to this application, we could offer children:
- classical child songs with lyrics
- musical accompaniment for these songs (for Dad and Mum)
- short lessons of recorder or guitar
- a way to share their culture online :)
It is programmed in Python/Gtk and requires very few dependencies:
- Python
- EditObj 2
- GTK 2, Pango, Cairo and their Python bindings
- LaTeX
- Timidity (or any other MIDI player)
- Evince (or any other PDF viewer)
Installation of EditObj and Songwrite2 was successful in Debian Lenny. Note that the official Debian package is too much outdated to be used: we need a backport. We need upstream author support, and the author is French :).
