Drum Scriobh
Drum Scriobh,
pronounced "DRUMSCREEV", Scriobh in Gaelic is "to write" is a drum
score writing application, with wave sound playback, for Windows. The composer
initially defines the score characteristics when a new score is created from the
File menu. Next the music structure
is defined with a simple user interface. i.e. Time signature, How many lines
This is very similar to the PiobMaster structure dialog. In addition, there are
a number of toolbars which may be used to drag and drop structure items, clefs,
time signatures etc. directly on to the score. Information about Drum
Scriobh (as well as a a
free Drum Scriobh viewer) can be found at
