NIFF Support Added to Igor Engraver 1.6
February 25, 2002
NoteHeads has released version 1.6 of its
scorewriter, Igor Engraver. Amongst other things, the new
version adds the ability to read NIFF files. It is now possible to
import printed sheet music into Igor Engraver for playback, editing
and printing, and also import NIFF files generated by other music
notation software.
Igor Engraver 1.6 is also dramatically faster - on the average, music
input and editing in large scores is about 10 times faster than
previous versions.
Igor Engraver 1.6 also features
- full, non-GM synthesiser support now also on the Windows platform,
- dramatically reduced file sizes for e-commerce files, which with v1.6 may be reduced to 15% of their previous size,
- multi-language support now also on the Windows platform,
- drawing layers,
- numerous improvements and bug fixes,
- and much more.
"The ability to import scanned sheet music via NIFF into Igor Engraver
1.6 is an important step in the development of Igor Engraver. We are
committed to providing our users with means of interchanging files
with existing programs, and future versions will reflect this even
more", says Peter Bengtson, founder of NoteHeads and inventor and
designer of Igor Engraver.
Igor Engraver 1.6 costs $295 and can be downloaded and purchased
online. The
educational price is $195. Upgrading to Igor Engraver 1.6 is free for
owners of Igor Engraver 1.4 and 1.5.
