Notation Software for Everyday Musicians
Version 2.6 of the Notation products further improves the industry's most accurate conversion of MIDI files to sheet music and automatic chord name recognition. MIDI files and recordings with disoriented rhythms can now also be repaired.


BELLEVUE, WA, July 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The culmination of more than 16 years of software development, Notation Software's releases of Notation Musician 2.0 and Notation Composer 2.0, and the major upgrade release 2.6 on June 14, 2010, offers 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.

Version 2.6 of the Notation products further improves the industry's most accurate conversion of MIDI files to sheet music and automatic chord name recognition. Even MIDI files and recordings with disoriented rhythms can now be converted to readable rhythms using the industry's first innovative Rebar feature, for tapping in and adjusting barline locations, introduced in this version 2.6.

It's easy to prepare parts for yourself, such as for fake book lead sheets, or for members of your music ensembles, and even for beginning musicians with the newly enhanced Easy Notes feature. 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 7, Vista, and XP. Notation Musician 2.6 ($37.99USD) and Notation Composer 2.6 ($87.99USD) can be purchased online or by phone as described at Notation Software's web site, www.notation.com.
