Notation Musician 2.4

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.
