MusEdit 3.2

MusEdit is an inexpensive ($79) yet very powerful music notation program 
for Windows.  MusEdit is particularly useful for guitar/bass players because it
handles tablature (4-6 string) and can translate from treble to tab and 
vice versa, has a built-in dictionary with 8700 chords and a poweful chord 
designer for 4-6 string chords, up to 7 frets, in any tuning.  MusEdit also 
handles treble/bass keyboard notation, alto and tenor staffs, drum kit notation, 
and lyrics and other text in any font.  Scores can be played back as audio 
or saved as a MIDI file, and MusEdit converts MIDI files to notation and 
accepts live MIDI input.  MusEdit prints out professional quality scores, 
and it can also be used to create music for posting on a web site.  
A free "MusEdit Viewer" is available which will permit people to view, print, 
and do audio playback of any scores you post on your site.  MusEdit comes with 
a well illustrated 170 pg. printed manual.
