The Purpose of Notation Composer

Notation Composer is a software tool that offers you an efficient and enjoyable way to prepare music-- both the sound and the notation-- for your own use, for performance by other musicians, and for visually interactive listening.

Although "Composer" is in the name Notation Composer, using it as a tool for composing is just one of several ways that Composer can help enrich your musical creativity.

With Notation Composer, you can:

find music (MIDI) files on the Internet and convert them to printable sheet music

study and enjoy music

practice music on your instrument or practice singing

arrange music for your particular instrument

arrange music that matches your performance skills, voice range, or stylistic taste

arrange parts to match the makeup of your group of performing musicians

if you are a music teacher, prepare lessons for your students

and, of course, to compose music and write songs from scratch
