Users of GNU Solfege and LilyPond should not concern themselves with Planet CCRMA at Home, unless they also user other audio software. Neither Solfege nor LilyPond would benefit from a computer optimzed for audio production.

- CCRMA stands for "Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics," which is the name of an academic research initiative and music computing facility at Stanford University, located in Stanford, California. Its initiatives help scholars to understand the effects and possibilities of computers and technology in various musical contexts. They offer academic courses, hold workshops and concerts, and try to incorporate the work of many highly-specialized fields.

Much of this software is highly advanced and complex, and not intended for everyday use.

Most of the audio software currently available in the default &O_S; repositories was initially available in &O_S; from the Planet CCRMA at Home repository. Sometimes, an updated version of an application is available from the Planet CCRMA repository before it is available from the &O_S; Updates repository.

Qtractor's matrix editor for MIDI clips offers a collection of useful tools, available from the "Tools" menu in the matrix editor window. These tools only operate on MIDI notes selected in the matrix editor window before the tool window is opened. Regardless of which tool you select from the menu, the same options are available to you each time the window is opened. It is possible to use multiple tools at a time.
