Hi!
My name is Etienne Snyman, and I recently moved over from Microsoft to
Open-Source software due to the high prices. I found MScore and found it
absolutely brilliant (except for a few bugs which are steadily being
removed - thanks! ) and although I am not a programmer, I am a
professional musician who has to write sheet music from time to time.
I found the manual that is included in the program unintelligable, and
after struggling with the program and the online manual, i started to
gradually understand how to use the program.
I would love to contribute to the project in any way I can, and I was
thinking that I would be able to assist in the creation of the manual.
User-friendlyness is absolutely vital if one is targeting people who
used to use Notepad and Sibelius (like me) which i didn't even need a
manual to use!
If I can be of any assistence at all, please let me know! I would love
to help rewrite the manual, as I see you are already doing!
Etienne
