Its not open source, but you can download Finale Notepad for free. It is a stripped down version of Finale, go to finalemusic.com.

Optimum set of features and benefits. The aim is to allow for automated transnotation (translation) of music from traditional notation into various alternative notation systems. Morris, and what follows is based on that paper.
For more about our work in this area. That is accessible and useful to a wide number of people. Format for music notation called MusicXML.
Music notation applications that are free to download and use (for example: LilyPond, Canorus, MuseScore). Notations as well as traditional notation. Scratch, a great deal of programming effort could be saved.
The Internet and Online Music Libraries: The internet is an excellent distribution channel, providing people all over the world with the means to download and use such a transnotation application. For alternative notations. Content of the file, but only how that content is displayed.
Transnotation turns out to be a task of re-presentation. Notation files (such as MusicXML files) in alternative notation systems. Interchange file format for music notation.
Formats that work with MusicXML. By the most people. Into alternative notations.
A computer is not a trivial task. Has already been done rather than starting from scratch. The user interface.
The part of the application that reads files (the parser). Various elements on the staff. To printers, and output to graphical file formats such as PDF or Postscript.
Rest of the functionality that already exists in the application. Of effort that would be saved, this still seems to be a preferable strategy. Developed the application and know it inside-out.
Currently, LilyPond is probably the most promising open-source application that could be adapted to display and print music in alternative music notation systems. Some work toward adding this functionality has already begun. For more information see LilyPond and Alternative Music Notations.
Project offers an online library of music freely available in its native LilyPond file format. Importing MusicXML files adds a trivial step to the transnotation process. Noteserver, but it is much less actively developed than LilyPond.
Yes! However, it most probably is a Burmese python, which is a little more like the snake in your photo. No matter, pythons and Boa Constrictors have more or less the same temperament.
Here are things your friend and his wife can do to ensure an enjoyable and lifelong relationship with their snake. First, it's good he got a baby. Please let her know to handle it frequently - daily if they can - and it will definitely bond with them.
If a constrictor is well fed and the food is consistent, the snake enthusiast will have little to worry about. Here's what I mean. A smaller constrictor is a corn snake.
I have several. They "work" reptile shows, often with small children. The company is The Reptile Family.
When the corn snakes are at home and not working, we take these pet snakes out every other day or so and play with them. They have a keen sense of smell, and associate human fragrance with fun and attention. Their food is frozen defrosted feeder rodents and this never varies.
Except for the size, of course. When they were babies, they ate ''pinky mice" and now that they are nearly full grown, they eat full-sized mice. So, they equate mouse aroma with food.
If your friends follow this pattern, neither they nor any other human should be perceived by the snake as food. If you don't smell like a rodent, you are not edible. A starving snake will eat anything that is alive, either warm or cold blooded.
This is why there is such a problem with pythons in the wild, in the Everglades in Florida, for instance. But I have handled 10-foot pythons, Red Tail Boa Constrictors, Madagascar Ground Boas and more big constrictors than I have room to list here. We bring snakes that are 7 or 8 feet long to the reptile birthday parties we work, and even the smallest children want to help hold them.
We have nothing to worry about. BUT, you must have adequate sized housing and food for these beautiful creatures, and lots of attention. Otherwise, it can indeed get dangerous later on.(This is a picture of me with my favorite Burmese python, Kah.
He's gotten too big to work at parties, but we still love to hold and play with him whenever we can. Please share this with your friend and his wife! ).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
