MOZART is a Music Processor for Windows. Using only the computer keyboard,
you can create and edit sheet music. This can be printed with high-quality TrueType
symbols on printers supported by Windows, and appears on the screen in standard
notation as a WYSIWYG display. The primary objective of MOZART is to print parts
for musicians, but MIDI files can be exported to provide an "aural preview" on
multimedia PCs.
Features include:
automatic alignment of notes in parallel parts;
automatic bar-line entry;
automatic default quaver (1/8th note) tail groupings;
cut, copy, paste;
dotted and double-dotted notes/rests;
editable titles, headers, and footers;
exporting MIDI files either "straight" or with "swing";
instant transposition;
keyboard shortcuts for most common commands;
note accents available include: attack, tenuto, staccato;
note/rest symbols from breve (double whole note) down to hemidemisemiquaver
(1/64th note);
rapid note positioning using the cursor keys;
setup program for easy installation;
treble, bass, alto, and tenor clef options;
triplets and other multiplets;
TrueType symbols;
up to 3 simultaneous parts on the Shareware version;
up to 64 parts on the "Virtuoso" Edition;
user-definable "swing" styles;
extensive on-line, context-sensitive help.
