NOTATION SOFTWARE FOR EVERDAY MUSICIANS
May 1, 2007

For Immediate Release

The culmination of more than 12 years of software development, Notation Software's releases of Notation Musician 2.0 and Notation Composer 2.0, and the major upgrade release 2.1 on April 23, 2007, offer everyday musicians engaging ways for making music-both the sheet music and the sound.  The Home musicians, members of small ensembles and choirs, and adults renewing their musical interests now have music software specifically designed with them in mind, as an alternative to complicated and expensive music notation programs optimized for full-time professional musicians and music publishers. 

Whereas the starting point for making music with other desktop music publishing software is typically hand-written music that the user enters onto the screen, the starting point for the Notation Musician or Composer user is typically music that the program helps the user find and download from the Internet. The user then customizes, arranges the music for himself or his music group, according to his or his group's musical skill level, taste, and unique set of instruments or voice ranges. Song writers and composers can also write music from scratch, using tools well-optimized for that task.

Notation Musician 2.0 and Composer 2.0 introduce a new look that can be customized by the user. A large collection of tools are readily accessible in a well-organized three-level palette, taking the guesswork out of finding the option that is only one or two mouse clicks away. 

Version 2.1 of the Notation products includes support for Vista, support for automatic software updates, forward and backward compatibility of Notation .not files, and several secondary new features, such as a convenient way to specify a fixed number of bars per line.

It's easy to prepare parts for yourself, such as for fake book lead sheets, or for members of your music ensemble. As first introduced by Notation Software in 2004, parts are fully integrated with the conductor's score so that changes are automatically reflected in both.

Notation Composer and Notation Musician run on Windows Vista, XP, ME, 2000, and 98. Notation Musician 2.1 ($49.95USD) and Notation Composer 2.1 ($149.95USD) can be purchased online or by phone as described at Notation Software's web site, www.notation.com.</Press_Release>

      <Char_Desc_2000>Notation Musician is an invaluable tool for any musician who reads musical notation or wishes he could. Follow the notes on your screen as you listen to your favorite music, whether a song or a symphony. Musician is an eye-opening study aid, a source of accurate sheet music, an untiring accompanist, and an excellent practice tool.

Enhance your enjoyment and understanding of music by watching the notes on your computer screen as you listen. Download music easily from the Internet, and Musician will display the score on the screen as the music plays. You control the tempo of the music - slow it down as much as you like for close study. Change the volume of each instrument in order to hear the part that you are most interested in.

Play your instrument or sing along with the music, as you read your part from the screen. Mute your instrument's part in the score, and provide that part yourself as Notation Musician accompanies you. Set up practice loops to perfect your playing. Add lyrics and display in a large format sing-along part, as you and your friends read the words and melody easily from the screen.

Produce your own customized sheet music from the many music files available on the internet. Share the music you like with your musical group or friends. Add or edit lyrics to make the song your own. Easily produce piano music by splitting a musical track correctly into right-hand and left-hand parts. Prepare a piano reduction of a score with a single command. If you play guitar, autoharp, or piano, rearrange the score into a "fake book" with chord names. If you play a woodwind or brass instrument, transpose your sheet music into the correct key for your instrument.

Learn music notation by using Musician to display the notes for music that you already know and like. Before you know it, you will be following along and learning the notes on the screen.

Notation Musician is the one program that every musician should have on his or her computer.</Char_Desc_2000>
