Sharing your music online and across programs.
PrintMusic makes it easy to access your music in other programs on your computer. It can share its images with graphics programs, its lyrics and text blocks with word processing programs, and its music with sequencers or other notation programs.
One of the most useful examples of PrintMusic’s cooperation with other software is its ability to import and export standard MIDI files. Most sequencer programs (Digital Performer, Sonar, Cubase, and so on) can generate and read MIDI files. You can create your music in your favorite sequencer, save it as a MIDI file, and open it with PrintMusic to convert it to standard notation. When you attempt this process, you’ll discover that PrintMusic offers many options for separating and recombining the music on the various tracks of the sequencer file. If you want, PrintMusic will even retain the velocity, rhythmic “feel,” and controller information from the original sequence. See MIDI Files for more details.
Note: None of MakeMusic's older products can read PrintMusic files directly. To share your files with others who do not own the most recent version of PrintMusic, have them download Finale NotePad which is available at www.finalemusic.com/notepad and will open any file saved from PrintMusic.
Note, too, that PrintMusic 2014 can read files created in other music notation programs from MakeMusic, including SongWriter, Finale, Allegro, Finale Guitar, and NotePad. Files created in earlier versions of any of MakeMusic’s notation programs can be opened in PrintMusic directly, even in the opposite platform. For example, files created in PrintMusic! 2006 for Windows can be opened in PrintMusic for Mac.
