PrintMusic® is the fast, easy way to bring your music to life - with professional results. The Setup Wizard helps you create scores for up to 24 simultaneous instrument parts. Note entry is a breeze, whether you enter with a mouse, MIDI device, microphone, or scanner. 

PrintMusic includes a software synthesizer with over 128 professional grade instrument sounds, plus Marching Percussion from Row-Loff™, and can save your scores as .MP3, .WAV, and .AIFF for making your own audio CDs or emailing audio versions of your scores over the internet!

Setting up a score has never been easier. Get started right away. The Setup Wizard makes it easy to create your score! Key and time signatures, transpositions, pickup measures, and more are configured for you – instantly.
 

 
The playback feature lets you hear what you've written either through your computer’s sound card or any attached MIDI instrument, and you’ll immediately notice how great your PrintMusic! scores look. Our new Maestro Font more accurately reflects actual engraved music: bolder noteheads, elegant clefs and classical articulations.

Printing individual parts is so easy! PrintMusic! will create separate files of each instrument in your score which you can then reformat any way you wish. For example, your marching band parts can be reformatted to 5” x 7” landscape – perfect for those marching trumpet players.

PrintMusic! is created by the makers of Finale®, the world's #1 music notation program!
