NoteWorthy Composer, our notation authoring tool, is a software music
composition and notation processor for Windows. It allows you to create,
record, edit, print and play back your own musical scores in pure music
notation. You can use the built-in transpose feature to quickly adapt a part
written for an instrument in a different key to the native key for your
instrument. The print feature makes it possible to publish sheet music right
from your desktop. You can also save your notation as a MIDI performance for
use in other MIDI applications, including software karaoke players.

Create Your Own Songs

Write your own songs, or transcribe existing songs, using the notation editor.
The editor allows you to create notation in a manner similar to writing a
document in a word processor. Add parts (staves), notes, text, lyrics, and
symbols directly from the editor. A note palette is available for visually
setting most note attributes, with optional keyboard shortcuts for note entry
using only the computer keyboard. An Undo/Redo feature allows you to reverse
up to 100 of your most recent changes.

Listen to Your Songs

Songs can be played back via your computer's sound card, or to external MIDI
setups. Notes are highlighted as they are played, so you can follow along
while the computer plays back your creation.

Record Your Performance

You can use an external MIDI keyboard for real-time and step-time entry of
your music. Use the record button to record a new performance while the
current song is played, and then polish it in the notation editor. For step
-time input, you can interactively input your notes remotely from a MIDI
keyboard while editing a score.

Print Your Songs

Print your whole score for a conductor's view, or just the parts that you
select. You can specify the notation size, in points, for fitting various
arrangements on the page. Arrangements can be previewed prior to printing.

Import and Export Standard MIDI File Format

Use the interactive Import Wizard to load an existing performance that is
contained in a standard MIDI file (*.mid). The performance will automatically
be converted to notation, which you can then listen to, edit, rearrange, and
polish. Standard MIDI files can be exported, which can be shared with others
who need *.mid file format.

Transpose Parts into Other Keys

A transpose feature can be used to transpose parts from one key to another.
Notes and key signatures are automatically updated to the new key. Support is
included for instruments that are not tuned to concert C (A440) tuning via a
second, audio only transpose mechanism.

Publish Your Songs on the Internet

There are several supporting freeware products for NoteWorthy Composer that
will allow you to share your NoteWorthy Composer song files (*.nwc) with your
friends, family and fans. The NoteWorthy Composer Browser Plug-in extends the
capabilities of your web browser to include the display, play back and
printing of *.nwc song files. As an NWC user and web page designer, show your
*.nwc song files in action on your site by embedding the song files to display
in the NWC Browser Plug-in. NoteWorthy Player is an application that will
display and play back *.nwc song files. With the NoteWorthy Composer Winamp
Plug-in, *.nwc song files can be added to a Winamp play list.
