Printing, exports, Karaoke and imports

Configuration

NtEd assumes that:

lpr <file>.ps

prints a PostScript file named <file>.ps on your system. If this isn't the case then configure the printing command. Choose:

EditPreferencesConfigure Print ...

On dialog textfield you should see:

lpr %s

The %s will be replaced by the name of a PostScript file. Change this string according to your needs. For instance: If you want to use the kprinter from KDE then change the string to:

kprinter %s

and press OK!

If all is configured then choose:

FilePrint

Export PostScript

You can export the score as PostScript. Choose:

FileExport PS...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

Because most printers are able to print PostScript files you can print this file using your preferred printing command (lpr, kprinter, ...)

Export PDF

Note

The PDF is available only if your Cairo library supports PDF.

You can export the score as PDF. Choose:

FileExport PDF...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

Because many printers are able to print PDF files you can print this file using your preferred printing command (lpr, kprinter, ...)

Export MIDI

You can export the score as MIDI data. Choose:

FileExport MIDI...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

Karaoke

If the score contains lyrics NtEd exports them to MIDI. This causes many midi players among them kmid to show a Karaoke-like behaviour:

Karaoke with kmid

Import MusicXML

You can import a MusicXML file. Choose:

FileImport MusicXML...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

Note

There is a bug in NoteEdit which concerns the export of multivoice staves into MusicXML. As a result NtEd has problems importing such files. To solve the problem NoteEdit must be patched. See http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/noteedit_musml_patch.html for more information.
