Free version of NoteWorthy Composer

[Uri Even-Chen]

Hi People,

When working on my automatic melody composing project 10 years ago, I
used a program called NoteWorthy Composer (
http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/composer/ ).  It's a good program,
it lets you save melodies in a readable format and then you can play
them, convert them to MIDI etc.  I paid for the program about $39 10
years ago, but I didn't keep the program on my computer (I bought new
computers twice since then).  I checked their website now, and it is
possible to download only an evaluation version - if I want the full
version then I have to pay $49 (after I already paid once).  I was
thinking, is there a free software which is recommended and does
something similar?  Of course I will also have to convert my .nwc
files, or maybe the free program can read it?  Also, NoteWorthy
Composer works on Microsoft Windows - I don't think there are versions
for Linux and Mac.  This is another problem with Linux - many
softwares don't run on Linux.  Do you know any alternative?

Thanks,
