GuitarTeX is a tool for guitarists who want to print good looking and easy to play song sheets or song books from their chord or chordpro files. It uses the well known chord format with several extensions. The program was developed on a Linux system, but it should run on any other Unix system which has a Perl/TK environment.
It is based upon an idea of Martin Leclerc and Mario Dorion from Canada and their program Chord (Version 3.5 from 1993). To use GuitarTeX, you need to have knowledge of the Chord program (explained later). Though the LaTeX text processing system is used by GuitarTeX, you dont have to know very much about it. GuitarTeX produces Postscript or PDF output automatically (if you want). The Chord directives supplied by GuitarTeX are described in Chapter 5.

- contents, headlines with page numbering, chord table and index

- Support for multiple languages (if you dont find your langauage, you can help the
- author to add it)

Mustajuuri (Black salsify, Scorzonera hispanica) is an audio signal processing application and toolkit. It is designed to meet wide range of needs.
The first and foremost is real-time effects processing. Mustajuuri can process guitar, vocals or any instrument with ease. It is also useful if you have a virtual reality system with more than 10 loudspeakers and you wonder how to control them all.
The basic philosophy is to combine the good features of many existing applications - not to simply copy one. Apps Id like to surpass are ProTools, CuBase and all the others. To make this possible Mustajuuri has an extremely flexible and powerful plugin model.
Mustajuuri acts as a core framework upon which applications can be built. One can build applications directly as plugins (quite easy) or use the Mustajuuri libraries and plugins as a class library.
Usages:
- Sound file editing
- Mixing
- Real-time effects processing
- Real-time sound analysis
- Sound processing for virtual reality system
Main features:
- Graphical user interface
- Good real-time operation
- Plugin-based system
- LADSPA plugin support (both import and export)
- Plugins for audio file I/O and MIDI I/O
- Openness - both as open source and as open for different uses
- Platfrom-agnostic
- Internationalization
- Multiple user interface options
- Easy-to-program plugin API with powerful support libraries
Enhancements:
- This release adds some ALSA-related bugfixes, compiles cleanly on GCC 4, and adds documentation about Mustajuuri to LADSPA plugin conversion.

RLS AVON project is a computer-based learning system. Students receive a lecture (screen shot) and then follow up with a test made up of multiple choice questions.

You could call RLS AVON computer aided instruction, but the program has the capacity to deliver instruction on its own. You could also call it an e-learning platform.
RLS AVON gives you freedom by supporting both Microsoft Windows and Linux. It could also be made to work under Mac OS X.

RLS AVON is free software, also called open source software, as defined by the GNU General Public License version 2 or, at your choice, later.

Lessons

RLS AVON comes with a lesson editor for educators (screen shot). Lessons may include text formatting and images. The lesson file format is based on XML and is designed to be vendor and platform neutral.

RLS AVON does not come with any lessons at this time, but it does support NOVA lessons (see below).

NOVA compatability

RLS AVON runs lessons from NOVA by Innovative Learning Systems. Only two parts (ILCMENU.EXE and GED32.EXE) were replaced.

LINGOT is a musical instrument tuner. LINGOT is easy to use, accurate, and highly configurable. Originally conceived to tune electric guitars, its configurability gives it a more general character. (Tuning another instruments has not been tested).
It looks like an analogic tuner, with a gauge indicating the relative shift to a certain note --found automatically as the closest note to the estimated frequency--, indicating that note and its frequency.
The note will be found automatically, since the program hasnt any manual function mode (indicating the note to tune manually), for mantaining its general purpose.
We recommend using the tuner in conjunction with a sound mixer for selecting the desired recording source and the signal recording levels.
Main features:
- Accurate.
- Easy to use. Just plug in your instrument and run tuner.
- Very configurable via GUI. Its possible to change any parameter while the program is running, without editing any file.
- It works in an automatic way. It isnt necessary specify the note to tune; the program guesses it.
- Its free software. It has GPL license.
- Tuning other instruments than guitars is possible. Since this program guesses the note you are playing, it can be used to tune a piano, a bass, a violin, etc.
Enhancements:
- Files have been reorganized to a more "GNU-like" structure.
- Multi-lingual support has been added.
