Descriptions:
-------------

Short: 

MUSICEASE v4.04a <ASP> - Music Score Editor, with printing capabilities, and 
                         WYSIWYG Interface.

Long:

MUSICEASE v4.04a <ASP> - a music score editor that lets you create, edit, 
print and play music notation. MusicEase provides a WYSIWYG (What You See 
Is What You Get) screen-oriented editor that lets you see on your computer 
screen the musical score exactly as your printer will print it out. In 
particular, MusicEase is a constraint-based system with a large amount of 
knowledge of music notation.  This allows it to handle intelligently many 
of the details of scoring automatically.  For instance, bar lines are 
inserted automatically according to the meter. If you change the meter, the 
bar line placements change automatically. (Of course you can insert 
barlines yourself wherever you like also.) The result is that you can 
create professional looking scores easily and quickly.

You can enter notes using the computer keyboard or you can enter notes by 
playing them on a MIDI instrument.  You can also create pieces using other 
music software such as a sequencer and, if they have a MIDI file 
capability, these pieces can be loaded directly into MusicEase. MusicEase 
also allows you to transpose, invert and retrograde sections or entire 
pieces.
