PrintMusic - Even Easier to Use

• Hear the note as you enter it in Simple Entry.
  
• Use the new Space Systems Evenly option in the Page Layout menu to distribute your staff systems on the page with the top and bottom systems lining up on the page margins. Space Systems Evenly will reflow the number of systems to find the maximum number that fit on a page and then respace those systems evenly.
  
• Now, easily set the distance between a staff system and the staff system above (or the top page margin).
  
• Enhanced system dragging uses plain dragging to move one system and all following systems move. Control-drag to move only the system you are dragging. If this is the last system on a page, it will align the system to the bottom of the page.
  
• Lock the contents of systems as well as the number of measures. Use Fit Music in the Mass Mover menu and in the Page Layout menu to set a number of measures in a system and hold their contents as well. When measures are inserted, the measures stay put. A lock icon shows you when you've locked the contents.
  
• A new icon shows you where you've turned on Allow Individual Staff Spacing.
  
• Fit Music will treat multi-measure rests as a single measure.
  
• Now you can select just the systems you want to change with regional selection in Page Layout. Drag-select, shift-click or select all of the handles to make changes to just the systems you want to change.
  
• The value for the top system margin is now the distance between the top staff line of the top staff and the dotted line drawn around the system.
  
• Change only the values you want to change with the new checkboxes in Edit System Margins dialog box.
  
• New Selection Tool! Double-click on most items and PrintMusic will switch to the appropriate tool.
  
• Import MIDISCAN and SmartScore® files! Scan files into the MIDISCAN or SmartScore program, then import the results into PrintMusic. Change the key, change the lyrics, and edit it like any other notation file.
  
• Bring scanned files directly into PrintMusic. The MIDISCAN technology has been incorporated into your PrintMusic. Just scan your sheet music, then let PrintMusic transcribe it.
  
• Import Encore and Rhapsody files directly into PrintMusic! without saving as MIDI files.
  
• Open Multiple files at the same time in the File Open dialog box. Shift-click to select additional files.
  
• Click the Lyric Tool and go. Type into Score for lyrics is now set as the default setting in the Lyric menu. See Lyric Tool.
  
• New "How Do I..?" chapter gives you a jump-start into step-by-step instructions in the manual.
  
• Improved Setup Wizard! Even more options to get your score setup quickly and easily, so you can get to work entering the music.
  
• Dockable Playback Controls. Always moving the Playback Controls out of the way? New Playback Controls are docked by default so they'll never cover up your music.
  
• Create and edit text blocks in any view. Whether page-attached or measure-attached, you can always edit your text blocks.
  
• Always have a final barline on the last measure of the piece. As you change your score, the last measure has the final barline.
  
• Staff placement in Scroll View no longer affects staff placement in Page View. Move your staves around in Scroll View to make editing easier without messing up careful layout in Page View.
  
• Easier Swing Playback. Set the swing on the fly with the MIDI Menu.
  
• Mass Edit menu has been merged into the Mass Mover menu.
  
• If you re-arrange the order of your staves, PrintMusic will correct the barlines for you automatically.
  
• Easier to enter rests in Speedy Entry when you're working in Hand-Free MIDI.
  
• New Templates included with PrintMusic: 1. Brass Band. British Brass Band style. 2. Jazz Band (Jazz Font). Uses the Jazz Font for a more hand-written look! 3. Drum Corps. Let the contest begin.
  
• New German Chord Style: This style displays "es" for the flat sign and "is" for the sharp sign, with a few exceptions.
  
• Better pickup measures will resize to smaller measure width.
