+Welcome to the first ever public release of Gemnotes.
+
+Gemnotes is a system of realtime music notation rendering using Pure Data and
+Gem.
+
+This software is released under the BSD license.
+
+The system includes one external - gemnotes_counter. Source code is included and released under the simple BSD license enclosed with the code. There are binaries for Linux and Mac OS X (10.6 Intel) compiled against Pure Data 0.42-5 in the ext/ folder. They should work with the examples, without any installation procedure. If you want to experiment with the gemnotes counter directly, you can call it by saving a patch in this folder then typing ext/gemnotes_counter in an object box.
+
+There are two other externals: polyquant is a polyrhythmic quantizer, and gemnotes_barcount is used in translate_midi.pd, a patch that attempts to create gemnotes compatible scores from standard MIDI files.
+
+Installation:
+Linux:
+
+cd /path/to/gemnotes-0.2/src
+make && sudo make install
+
+Or use the binaries in the /ext folder:
+cd /path/to/gemnotes-0.2/ext
+sudo cp *.pd_linux /usr/lib/pd/extra
+
+Mac OS X:
+
+You can compile the externals yourself using gcc if you have XCode installed following the steps above for Linux.
+If you want to try the binaries in Pd-extended, right-click on Pd-extended and "show package contents" then copy the files from the /ext folder into Contents/Resources/extra
+
+Gemnotes uses dynamic patching to generate music notation based on TrueType Fonts (TTF) and 3D primitives.
+
+There are many limitations with the current system, and errors often occur. This project has a simple score language associated with the makevoice.pd (dynamic patching) abstraction and the gemnotes_counter object. Patches can also be made as static elements, and staves can be turned on and off. 
+
+If you have a modification of the code you wish to share with me, post to the pd-list (after joining the list) or write to morph_2016@yahoo.co.uk
+
+Changes for version 0.2
+
+1. Dynamics from ppp to fff are implemented, and hairpins (crescendo/decrescendo marks)
+2. Basic articulation (accent) may be added to a note.
+
+Changes between PDCON 2011 and the 0.1 release:
+
+1. The stave/note math is decoupled from the Gemhead
+2. Object IDs are implemented so that reclocking of the stave math happens as a new object is placed, rather than all the time.
+
+------------- To Do for version 0.3 -------------
+
+More articulations
+More clefs
+Live input using gemnotes_barcount and polyquant
