Here is a first stable release of Songwrite 2!

Songwrite 2 is a tablature editor for Linux, written in Python with GTK and Cairo. A tablature is a guitar partition ; Songwrite 2 supports many string instruments in addition to traditional staffs.

With Songwrite 2 you can...

...edit tablatures (guitar, bass, banjo,...) and staff, and add lyrics to write your own songs !
...create your own songbook
...play your partitions
...print your partitions and your songs
...convert automatically staffs to tablatures and tablatures to staffs
...export your songs into many formats (PDF, Midi, ASCII tablatures, GNU Lilypond, LaTeX, PostScript,...)
...import Guitar Pro 3 / 4 file (experimental)

Songwrite 2 is a complete rewrite of Songwrite 1 with :

A new interface based on Gtk 2 and Cairo, with anti-aliasing
A new staff rendering engine, now handling tonality and alteration correctly
A new plugin system
A new documentation
Printing support updated for recent version of Lilypond (2.11.20 and above)

Hi,

thank you for the new release, great timing :) I installed Songwrite 0.something on my Ubuntu yesterday, liked it and checked the internet for a new release. Looks like I've been very lucky!

Merci Beaucoup!

Chris
