Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Voyetra's Music Write 2000 Standard Edition is an easy yet powerful way to notate music and record by using MIDI. It offers you all of the tools for creating everything from professional-quality sheet music to full ensemble scores, without the need to read an encyclopedia-size manual. By using a mouse, you can enter notes at your own pace or record them in real time by using an optional MIDI keyboard. Music Write 2000 automatically notates what you enter. Set up your clefs, key signatures, and transpositions for each instrument. It's equally versatile for notating lyrics, melody, chord symbols, or drum parts. You can cut, copy, and paste music into your score, just like with a word processor. Record with an optional MIDI keyboard, and see your music instantly transcribed into notation. Print your score--complete with your name, song title, copyright information, and more--in any Windows font. Add chord names and guitar symbols. Use the loop function, which lets you enter and edit notes as you're looping, to hear different musical ideas quickly. Use the symbol palette to enter all notes and rests, clefs, chords, and lyrics. Add up to two lines of lyrics into your score. Music Write 2000 supports ties, triplets, orchestral symbols and markings, and much more. The package also includes the book "Introduction to Songwriting," which is a valuable guide to the creative process of writing, arranging, and producing your own songs and compositions.

This review is from: Music Write 2000 Standard Edition (CD-ROM)

Very difficult to use. The program trys to do too much and as a result it doesn't do any of its functions well. Very user-unfriendly. Does not allow enough bar-lines per stave (only four).

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult, August 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Music Write 2000 Standard Edition (CD-ROM)

It probably isn't worth buying. There are two many options. The program dosn't let you put an eighth note right after a sixteenth note or a quarter note right after an eighth note and so on. Ties are difficult to put in. It's not so bad but it still isn't worth buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PROGRAM!!!, March 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Music Write 2000 Standard Edition (CD-ROM)

MUSIC WRITE 2000 STANDARD/PROFESSIONAL VERSION = A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT COMPOSING/ARRANGING MUSIC - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW DIFFICULT THIS PROGRAM IS TO USE!

COMPARED TO FINALE NOTEPAD - THE TRIAL VERSION OF FINALE - MUSIC WRITE *CANNOT*:
~TRANSPOSE - YOU HAVE TO TRANSPOSE EVERYTHING! ALL 48 INSTRUMENTS IF YOU CHOOSE TO ENTER THAT MANY!!
~ENTER ACCIDENTALS - WANT AN ACCIDENTAL? HAVE FUN DOUBLE CLICKING EACH NOTE AND TRANSPOSING IT YOURSELF!
~TIE NOTES - WANT A NOTE TO BE TIED? MUSIC WRITE WILL NOT DO IT!

THE LIST GOES ON!! I REPEAT AND REPEAT AGAIN - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - PURCHASE A BETTER PROGRAM! THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND I'VE EXPERIENCED *BOTH* PROGRAMS - THE BOXES LIE TO YOU!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!
