Music writing is a very laborious and painstaking process since you need first to write down the notes, bars, and so on, and then play them with your instrument so you can make the corresponding corrections.
This program lets you streamline this process. You only need to open a new document and use the built-in wizard to choose the type of score you want to use (treble, for voice, guitar and other instruments, or bass, for bass guitar, double-bass and so on), or choral and set the key you want to use.
Once you have set your score, you can start adding the notes you want. You can find anything from whole to thirty-second notes, as well as rests and silences. You can also add additional notations such as slurs, legato, triplets, and more.
Once you have finished your score, you can listen to it using the playback instrument tool, which lets you choose among a huge variety of instruments, including different types of piano, guitar, organ, harp, and others. Also, you can print your score to read it even when you are away from your computer. In sum, it is a very useful program, even though it is aimed to music composers, musicians, and people with at least some music notation knowledge.
Although the cost of the program is not very affordable, the company offers a substantial discount.
