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 http://www.ceolmor-software.com/products_drumscriobh.htm
