- Start with music you find on the Internet (tens of thousands of free MIDI files).
- Customize and arrange the music to fit your or your group’s particular needs -fake book lead sheets, custom parts (which stay connected with the main score), instruments or voices in your group, easy-notes for learning.
- Use Composer to compose from scratch as well – it’s designed to help you compose, not just print music you’ve already written.

- Learn musical notation by watching the notes as you listen to familiar songs.
Notation Composer
Composer has all the features of Musician, and additionally
