transcribe (music transcription tool)

The Transcribe! application is an assistant for people who sometimes
want to work out a piece of music from a recording, in order to
write it out, or play it themselves, or both. It doesn't do the
transcribing for you, but it is essentially a specialised player
program which is optimised for the purpose of transcription. It has
many transcription-specific features not found on conventional music
players.

Transcribe! is proprietary software. After installation, Transcribe!
will be fully functional for a 30-day evaluation period. To buy the
software, go to https://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/buy.html.
The Slackware package doesn't need to be changed or updated (just
enter the license key).

This version of Transcribe! only supports x86_64. If you need a
version that will run on 32-bit x86, see transcribe-legacy.
Don't install both transcribe and transcribe-legacy; they conflict.

Transcribe! uses GStreamer for audio playback. The first time you
start the application, the default playback sink is set to
pipewiresink. If you don't use pipewire, you'll have to switch
to PulseAudio (or maybe ALSA). To do this, use the menu bar:

  Application -> Preferences -> Playback

...then find "GStreamer device name" about halfway down
the dialog. Change "pipewiresink" to either "pulsesink" or
"alsasink". You'll actually have to type the name (there's no
drop-down list), then click OK.
