Fronimo (software)

Fronimo is a software program for engraving of tablature for lutes, archlute, theorbo and other plucked and bowed instruments.

He named it in honour of Il Fronimo by Vincenzo Galilei, one of the foremost music treatises of the 16th century.

[5] The program contains historical fonts for the most common tablatures for the lute and guitar.

[2] A fully functional demo version is available, and is restricted only so far as it is unable to save tablature files.

[7] The licence cost of Fronimo may be thought to be reasonable compared to Sibelius when the functionality of that package is not required.
