Canorus is a free and expandable music notation program for various operating systems . The program is the official successor to NoteEdit .
Canorus supports polyphonic voices in unlimited numbers and lengths. The user can load finished notations or create his own notation with the mouse and keyboard. A graphical user interface supports notation, import and export of various file formats, MIDI input and output as well as a scripting language are available. Using a Qt4 - Framework provides Canorus a fast and modern graphical user interface and a large platform independence . Canorus currently runs on Linux , Windows and macOS systems. The program converts written notes or chords into MIDI signals. It can save the data in XML , LilyPond and MIDI formats.
The free notation program LilyPond can optionally be installed to print out the sheet music . LilyPond itself does not have its own graphical user interface, but the operation is integrated into the Canorus interface, so that it can be printed out using the standard printer installed.
Canorus is licensed under the GNU General Public License . This means that the program can be freely distributed. The source code is publicly available and anyone can contribute to the further development of the program.
The name Canorus is derived from the Latin word for “sweet”, “rich”, “deep”, “warm”, “friendly”, “gentle” and “full of sound and harmony”. The founders of the Canorus project and long-time NoteEdit developer Matevž Jekovec from Slovenia and Reinhard Katzmann from Germany chose this name because it best describes the philosophy of the program.
