New Release: Nota Musica Version 2.51
---------------------------------------
Johannes Martin Software-Entwicklung announces the new release 2.51 of
the music notation program Nota Musica. The new version comes with many
improvements and new features. The most interesting feature is probably
the new song text editor. Now you can write lyrics to the music you have
composed with Nota Musica. You can also annotate the music with chord
names, for example for guitar players.
Version 2.51 uses MusiXTeX to generate the final printouts and previews.
This provides even better quality than MusicTeX, which was used in the
previous releases.
Some of the other additions are support for drag and drop, integration
of Nota Musica Sequencer for MIDI recording and playback, automatic
calculation of rests, and many more.

General Information on Nota Musica:
-------------------------------------
Nota Musica is a 32 Bit Presentation Manager application to write and print
music pieces. It offers both a text based and a graphical mouse driven
editor. Tools such as transpose and similar facilitate revising and
rearranging your tunes. Although Nota Musica uses its own file format to
store your music pieces appropriately on disk, it also supports the MIDI file
format, which is supported by most major tune editors for DOS, Atari,
Macintosh and Amiga.
Nota Musica creates fine printouts of your pieces, even on 9 pin printers.
Of course it also supports 24 pin, inkjet and laser printers. Printouts
are created using emTeX and MusiXTeX which are included in the commercial
version in an easy to install package. TeX is available for many computer and
operating systems (Unix, Atari, Amiga, Macintosh, etc ...), so Nota Musica's
output can be used for further processing on these machines if required.
You can also import Nota Musica's output into your favorite word processor
to write music related papers and books, for example.
You don't have to know anything about emTeX and MusiXTeX to use Nota Musica.
Nota Musica with the included emTeX and MusiXTeX requires about 10MB of
harddisk space.
