Some 8-bit nostalgia
Hi, all:
I was playing around with a virtual emulator for my late, lamented 8-bit Radio Shack Color Computer III (the good old CoCo, circa 1985) and loaded up some music software that I wrote -- in BASIC! -- back then, long before Notation Composer came along. In fact, I think Mark Walsen was still working on Windows 3.0 back then! I called this little gem Musicscribe and it was a purely graphical notation program: no sound, no MIDI and not much automation. Although stretched on screen, as shown in this screen grab, the printout was properly sized -- on my old Tandy DMP-105 dot matrix printer, at 300 baud and 127 dpi. Below that is an example of the same three bars of music in Composer 3.1 -- entered in about 1/10th of the time. I have no idea why, but I still have a fondness for my old 8-bit computers. David |
