Free open software for music theory
Welcome to LenMus! It is a free open software project, committed to the principles of
open source software, free education, and open access to information. It has no commercial
purpose. It aims at developing publicly available knowledge, methods and algorithms related
to teaching music, and music representation and management with computers and, at the same time,
to provide free quality software for music students, amateurs, and teachers.
I started LenMus when I was studying music theory, as a help to practice sight
reading and aural
training. Since then I've been working on this. I hope it can be useful to you!. And that you
will join me to help to improve the project!
