Lime is an inexpensive (registration $65), professional-quality music
typesetting program. While not optimized for pipe music entry, it is flexible
enough to produce very high quality pipe and drum scores. I believe this
is the best thing going if you're serious about generating good-looking scores.

Available for
Windows
95 and
Mac.

I have added symbols for standard GHB gracenote and 8th note flags to the
the font (marl.ttf) supplied with Lime.
GHBMARL.ZIP includes the new marl.ttf font
and instructions for using
in Win95. If anyone knows how to convert this to a Mac TTF font, please
don't hesitate to let me know.
