SimpliScore Music Editor: Streamlined Tools for Amateur Composers

SimpliScore is a user-friendly music editing software designed to streamline the composition process for amateur musicians. It offers a free and accessible platform with graphical interfaces and compositional aids. The software is created in Java, providing an easy-to-use output and GUI input for common use. The development is delivered in stages, with multiple versions allowing for quarterly releases. Preliminary results of Version 0.2 show file input and attractive ASCII output but with minor ledger line issues. Future goals include enhancing graphical and GUI inputs to aid amateur composers effectively.
