Philip's Music Writer
Philip's Music Writer is a program for typesetting music. It reads text files as input, and generates PostScript as output. It can also write simple MIDI files for proofhearing purposes. PMW is written in C and is freestanding; that is, it does not require additional processing software. It is a Linux/Unix port of a program that has run for over a decade on Acorn systems, where it was known as Philip's Music Scribe.

Release Notes: Two small new features are added: the ability to move tremolo lines vertically, and interpretation of simple tremolos when generating MIDI. One small source infelicity has been tidied up.

Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. The bugs that are fixed are relatively minor.
- 23 Jan 2012 22:37
Release Notes: There are two new command line options, -drawstavelines and -drawbarlines, which cause PMW to output stave and barlines using PostScript drawing commands instead of characters from the Music font. This can be useful in environments where PostScript interpreters do not handle the stave and barline characters well.

PMW - Philip's Music Writer
If you looking for a software to let you print sheet-music, try this one! This one is good!
Notation is simpel like abc but without its limits! pmw give you access to all symbols you could possible need.
Some things have a little strange default values, but are tunable after a little reading in the manual.
If you download and install you will have notes on paper within 30 minutes!
Good luck!
