My main suggestions
I have four main suggestions for future versions. My first suggestion is to have the ability to import .xml files. My second suggestion is to include support for vst. My third suggestion is to have the ability to enter fretboards when adding chord names in the score. And my last suggestion is to have the ability to export mp3 files. Once again these are not complaints. I think this software is great as it is. These are just suggestions on how to improve the software and make it even better. If any of these are possible and I did not pick up on it, please let me know. Thanks for taking the time to read this

Re: My main suggestions
Hi Zach,
Thanks for your suggestions for improving Notation Composer. We really appreciate it when our musicians let us know what features are important to them. We really do listen You'll be happy to know that each of your four suggestions are already on our "to do" list for a future major new version. There are a couple of ways to "work around" two of them currently, and for free. For VST instruments, you can use VST Host (http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm) and "virtual" MIDI cables such as LoopBe1 (http://nerds.de/en/download.html). For details on how to set this up, you can see this post. To get an mp3 of a file, you can use a soundfont (see our information page) and a program called SynthFont. Create your file in Composer and use File/Export to save a .mid version. Then using SynthFont, you can render this .mid file into an mp3 or wav (or other audio) format. If you want any further explanation of either of these, just ask, or you can search around the forum for more info as well. ttfn, Sherry

Re: My main suggestions
Hi Zach and Sherry
Just my eurocent in the basket. You may want to try the Midi-input feature of Synthfont first ,with a virtual cable,for listening and making changes in Composer and Synthfont ,before exporting to midi and recording in Synthfont. The midi-input feature does not support direct recording,yet. Hope this will help you saving precious time. Regards Djim |

Re: My main suggestions
Howdy guys,
Yes, what Djim is suggesting is using SynthFont's "Activate MIDI Input" feature. This allows you to work in Composer for your editing, and hear the sounds of the soundfont that you want to use through SynthFont. In other words, SynthFont is then acting as a MIDI device for Composer to use for playback of files. I forgot to mention that bit - thanks Djim ttfn, Sherry

YHi Sherry
You are most welcome. Also forgot to mention VST-Synthfont,a stripped off version of its big brother. Does the same with Composer but less jingles and bells. Regards Djim |
