Notation Program in Linux - Only thing I need

Do you know whether or not there are any native notation programs in Unix up to the par with the Sibelius? In my personal life I always used Linux. I don't play games that much so it is not a problem, but sometimes I just need to write down some melodies. I always used pen and paper for that when my workstation isn't available or simple programs like Guitar Pro or Noteworthy with wine. But sometimes they are just not enough.
Don't offer apps like Rosegarden. I want something like Sibelius, or teach me how to use it with wine in Arch, I never could manage it. Then I can safely get rid of Windows in my personal space.

This thread is quite old, but I'll answer anyway.
if you really need sibelius and you have a licence for it, you can still use virtualbox for running it...
I've never used Sibelius, but I think you have much more control and portability with an ascii based notation. LilyPond is certainly great, for my part I'm using the ABC notation, the syntax is really easy to learn, and I can transcribe a partition quickly into abc.
By using abcm2ps, you can have this kind of output:

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:

I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.

I want to use Boot Camp to run a tax program that will only use explorer. Whick windows program do I need to install in Boot Camp

I want to use Boot Camp and windows 7 or 8, preferrably 7 to run a tax program that will only let me use explorer. I am using a Mac Book Pro with OSX Maverick 10.9. There are so many windows programs out there it is confusing which one I need. I don't think that I will need Office.

I would use Windows 7 any full version except the trial, or a branded Dell, HP, etc. versions

This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users. My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected mini dock and over Wi-Fi. It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process.

I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

Need help fixing my safari. have already done files perms repair to no avail. Only thing that happens when I select Safari is the screen changes color.

I Need assistance repairing my browser "Safari" on my MacBook Pro. The only thing that happens when I select it is that the Icon does bounce up and down. I've already tried to repair the files perms to no avail. I have also created another user and tried to use Safari when logged on as them and it didn't work then either.
Help!! I'm new to Apple but have loads of PC experience...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

What is the most cost effective program to "view" only "ai" files, no need to edit

I would like to know what is the most inexpensive program to view only vector "ai" files. I receive artwork from artists and need to view, but have no need to edit the work. I find Illustrator to be very expensive for this view only option. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I tried a few programs on the web such as softusolve and they opened everything but "ai" despite saying it opens these file extensions.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

You didn't say what operating system you are using but if all you are doing is looking at the file and you are on a Mac, then try Art View: http://www.code-line.com/artview/
It provides Quick Look for Illustrator, InDesign, EPS, ASE, and even FreeHand files. Shows what fonts and colors are used in the file and If the AI file has multiple artboards, you can scroll through all of them in the preview. Shows date created and modifed.
Cost $25.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Program to read only specific words in each Line in a text file

Hi
I have a question
I need to write a program where the program must read only specific words in each line
I will give you an example...
PSAPPSRV.21201 1-42 13.35.54 238.360 Cur#1.HDEV RC=0 Dur=0.000 COM Stmt=SELECT VERSION FROM PSVERSION WHERE OBJECTTYPENAME = 'SYS'
PSAPPSRV.21201 1-43 13.35.54 0.040 Cur#2.HDEV RC=0 Dur=0.000 COM Stmt=SELECT STYLESHEETNAME FROM PSOPTIONS
These are two lines in my text file...now I need to read only the SQL statements present that is both SELECT statements.. Can you please suggest a method.......

My first reaction to the question is why would you want such thing, but may be I am unknown :)
Assuming you have the text as string, I mean
String str = "PSAPPSRV.21201 1-42 13.35.54 238.360 Cur#1.HDEV RC=0 Dur=0.000 COM Stmt=SELECT VERSION FROM PSVERSION WHERE OBJECTTYPENAME = \'SYS\'";you can obtain the sql statement using substring method like
String result = str.substring(str.indexOf("SELECT")); Again I assume there is no word SELECT preceding and the word SELECT is all caps.

Things You Need To Know about old= New iMac

1) Your HP All-In-One printer/scanner/copier - will it work with this new Leopard iMac? Maybe. I struggled with the all-in-one Printer Scanner Copier PSC 2355 for hours, and that includes reading the discussion forums on Apple's website. Apple support will tell you to call HP. HP will tell you to call Apple, or to check back for updated drivers. This was unacceptable. I finally crossed my fingers and loaded HP drivers for "Tiger", the previous OS version. Hey, the PSC 2355 works perfectly. Hope you have success also.
(2) PPT and PPS files in email. If you do not have Microsoft Office and PowerPoint, you need to know this: iMac comes with a trial version of Keynote and a trial version of PowerPoint software. If you receive a PowerPoint slide show from a friend, and you click on it to view it in Mail, Keynote may open up, for the first month or so. But if you don't buy keynote, this will eventually stop working. If MS PowerPoint opens up, same trouble - it may work a month or so. On my machine, the trial version actually locked up the iMac at the "Splash Screen". And if you don't buy Keynote, MS PowerPoint or MS Office for Mac, then your last hope for seeing PPT and PPS files is "Quicklook" which doesn't step through slides one at a time, but presents them as a long document. Not so great. Our solution was (A) delete the trail versions, and (B) buy a family pack of iWork and then everyone gets Keynote. Too bad the PPT and PPS music doesn't work.
(3) Moving old iMac (circa 2001) files to new iMac. This worked very nicely and seamlessly - all the music, photos, passwords, bookmarks, email moved smoothly from old iMac to new iMac. Only thing is... I think some old crap also moved. Old stuff that will never work in Leopard such as OS 9 apps and games. Even found some old fonts moved. THUS, we received an error "Helvetica narrow substituted for Helvetica which is corrput". Apple support was useless, telling me to reinstall the entire system, which did not solve the problem. After reading Apple discussions, someone suggested copying the fonts from the system folder to the user's library folder. Problem goes away, all is well.
(4) Thus, once you get these kinks worked out, you will LOVE this new iMac. built in camera, mic, fantastic screen and color rendition, fast processor, wonderful iLife apps, and the whole experience. Hope my comments help you transition into your new Mac Life.

I have my Mini Mac with Leopard 10.5.1 for about 3 weeks. My learning curve looks like a dead man's EKG, thus my simplistic question: OpenOffice or NeoOffice? I basically write and have old files rescued from my Windows 98 written in Word 2000. For my purposes, is one office program preferable to the other?
Thanks.

I've used Linux for several years, but only recently installed Arch for the first time. I installed Bridge Linux, Chakra, and later ArchBang, and after getting a feel for pacman (I think it's great!) and, with Bridge and ArchBang, the Arch repos, I was convinced that I wanted to go ahead with an Arch installation. Not sure if this is an option for you or not, but I actually tried two "test" installations on a spare computer first, taking detailed notes, with tabs in my browser (on another computer) opened to the Beginners' Guide and the "official" Installation Guide. I also kept the Bridge and ArchBang installations; kinda nice to be able to take a look at them sometimes to see how things are set up there. I don't know if Arch users would recommend this type of approach, but it has worked out well here.
