Complex Staff software 'staffbuilder'

In 2003 I wrote a little application called staffbuilder which summarizes the idea of complex staves. It lets the user choose parameters for an arbitrary 2 or 3 level staff and gives a basic evaluation of its usefulness for microtonal notation. Not up to present standards in terms of programming and interface, but may be useful for those of you interested in the whole idea of complex staves who might want to do something else with them.

Mac: http://www.h-pi.com/software/StaffBuilder-OSX.zip
Windows: http://www.h-pi.com/software/StaffBuilder-WIN.zip

I just checked the mac version which looks as I remember it. I haven't checked the windows version.

I'm going to have to bow out of TL discussions for a while. Email still works.

Cheers,

Letting the user define their own notation? No, people aren't
ready. They need to be spoonfed. They need standards. They
can already choose from at least two pet systems of somebody
else. What more do they need?
