![]() A recent question in the Clojurians Slack channel caught me off guard when I was asked to compare FrankenScore to Sibelius. This request for a direct comparison not only made me pause but also brought back memories of Igor Engraver's rivalry with Sibelius – a competition that once saw Sibelius's own CEO defect to our side. However, that was a long time ago. Now, as FrankenScore carries forward Igor's legacy, I was challenged to articulate our unique value proposition in this new era. Here's how I responded: NN:
Hey, that looks promising! What are the advantages it will have compared to Sibelius? Peter Bengtson: Wow, that's actually a pretty multi-faceted question. While we're still in development and can't yet offer a feature-by-feature comparison with Sibelius, I can highlight some key advantages we're aiming for:
Importantly, as an open-source project, FrankenScore will be free to use. Many music departments struggle with excessive license costs. For those interested in more details, ooloi.org contains a wealth of information about the project, its goals, and its technical underpinnings.
