Hi,

I was not aware of the problem with the old NoteEdit files. It seems
that currently the only option to convert sheet music from NoteEdit into
any other format is to use the NoteEdit program itself, using the
MusicXML export function.

So I have to agree with Matevž here, it's probably to early to remove
this package from Debian, especially given its high popcon value (about
750). It would be really bad if people could not longer open their sheet
music in another score setting program after they've upgraded their
Debian stable distribution.

However, it might be a good idea to add a note about this to the
noteedit package, so that its users are informed about the problem. It
should be suggested that they convert their music files into MusicXML
for further processing, because noteedit will be removed from Debian in
the stable release after squeeze.

What do you think, Paul?

Regards,
Tobias
