NtEd a musical score editor

The author of "NoteEdit" presents

NtEd - 1.10.16 - a musical score editor (only) for Linux

I'd like to express my admiration for the developers of the Cairo library. Cairo can antialiasing, curves, deal with PostScript fonts, and fill in areas independent of whether these areas are concave or convex. Without any change of the drawing instructions you can bring Cairo to draw in a widget, create a PostScript, PDF, PNG, or SVG file image. And if you compare the output: It is always exactly the same image! And it is fast, very fast! This is important because the WYSIWYG user expects an answer to a mouse event during approximately 50 ms. The WYSIWYG behaviour of NtEd bases completely on the properties of the Cairo library.
