What version do you own?

That's easy to find out. Run Notation Composer or Notation Musician, and choose the About command in the Help menu. It will tell you the version number.

If your version is between 2.0 and 2.5.2, you can upgrade to version 2.6 for free!

If your verison is between 1.0 and 1.1.4, you can upgrade to version 2.6 for a small price.

	Record freely at your MIDI keyboard without a metronome, and then easily add the barlines in the right place later with the new Rebar feature.
	Prepare sheet music from "metronomeless" MIDI files that previously no notation program (including Notation's before version 2.6) could transcribe correctly because metronomeless MIDI files do not have meaningful barlines and rhythms.
	All of the fine playback details of tempo and rhythms are preserved, even as you dramatically correct the barlines and rhythms with the new Rebar feature.
	Quickly and easily tap in the barlines as you hear the score play.
	Easily nudge a barline to come before or after a note, and the rhythms will be automatically re-adjusted for you.

	Major improvements in the entry and analysis of chord names give you more accurate results immediately.
	The simplified Chord Name Analysis dialog makes it easier to get the chord names you want for your song file.
	The new Chord Builder dialog lets you see and hear the notes for the chord names you are entering. You can also use your MIDI keyboard to enter chord names by playing them on your keyboard.
	The new Paste Chord Names command allows you to copy just the chord names from a region and then paste them to another selected region for quick chord name entry if you already know the chord names you want in the score.
	You can now change the Enharmonic Spelling of chord names, to give alternate chord names that might be more familiar to you or your band members.

What version do you own?

	The main transcription engine has been improved for even better accuracy and musical readability of the transcribed score.
	Using MIDI files you find on the Internet, or your own MIDI recordings, the quality of the transcribed score is better in version 2.6 than ever before.

	The default behavior of Notation Composer is now that on opening a file, any adjustments you make to the notation will affect both the notation and the performance of the notes.
	You can still use the Piano Roll's "Edit only as-notated" or "Edit only as-performed" features to edit one without the other.

	Tap in beats as you listen to a test, to calibrate your MIDI playback device.
	Notes and the beats will then be highlighted exactly at the right time during playback.
