music symbols/notation
clairedelune 05.07.2006 23:09:01
I recently downloaded the student trial version of OneNote 2003. I'd like to
be able to use it to take notes in my music theory courses, where I'll need
more than the standard set of symbols provided in Office. I'll be using
OneNote on a laptop, not tablet, so using the stylus to create the symbols I
need isn't an option. I am not looking for composition software, I already
own Sibelius. I found the Bach font online, but a) i'm not sure it will work
with OneNote and b) it sounds complicated to use once installed. Any
suggestions?

In a previous life, I've used Finale for such notations, but if you
(probably) can't carry a keyboard around to class, it may not be
practical, and you're still using nonintuitive typing to represent the
musical notation. You might as well try to memorize the keys, etc. for
the Bach font.

There are some music templates here:

which include treble/bass/both staffs. If you can't swing a Tablet PC,
then maybe a small external digitizing tablet from Wacom might be
practical. You can still "write" on the external tablet, and have the
writing appear on the staffs in OneNote.
