What’s New in PrintMusic 2010

Percussion Notation
We've simplified the process of getting notes on percussion staves to look – and playback – exactly the way you want them to.

Automatic Rehearsal Marks
PrintMusic automatically sequences your rehearsal marks correctly and dynamically updates them when you change your score.

Broadway Copyist
Inspired by the golden era of handwritten Broadway scores, the Broadway Copyist hand-written font offers a lighter, classic appearance.

Improved Chord Input
Change or delete notes without changing your chords. Attach chords to measures – whether or not they contain notes or rests – and have the chords appear and playback correctly.

Improved Scanning
New Smartscore Lite scanning interface enables you to specify the instrumentation so that your staves will automatically be properly transposed and configured for playback.

Graphics updates, VST/AU Support, and more
Import and export .JPEGs, support for third-party VST/AU Instruments and Effects, drag-apply expressions to multiple staves, and improved documentation.
