Features

Music Writer Touch was developed for use on touch screen displays and interactive whiteboards. If you don't have access to either, don't worry. You can still enter notation with a standard computer keyboard & mouse, or MIDI input keyboard. With an interface you can resize, you'll have no problem navigating interactive displays whether you're working on a 17 inch monitor or a 6 ft. whiteboard.

Your MWT files are saved as MIDI files, which allows you to take your MWT work and listen to it in most MIDI playback devices and programs.

Notes can be placed on your staff by a computer keyboard, mouse, MIDI keyboard, or even your hands (with a touch screen monitor). Notes are entered step-time with a MIDI keyboard.

MWT sports an extremely friendly user interface. Select a "hot spot" in the program to open a palette. Pressing a button on the palette adds the element of your choice. No navigating through toolbars and opening/closing windows. Palettes in the program have a wealth of tools for notation. You literally have the components to begin notation at your fingertips.

Whether you want to duplicate a phrase and repeat it later in a piece, or you need to pull a segment, you will be able to quickly and easily cut, copy and paste notation. Filtered Paste allows you to define what you want to paste with notes (for example: you would like to carry the note pitch and duration, however you don't want any articulations. Choose Copy then Filtered Paste, and opt out of pasting accidentals.).

Not sure what a button or tool does? The Helper function gives specific information instantly. Selecting the Helper tool will open a small, non-intrusive window with tips and instructions for efficient music notation.

MWT manages note spacing based on the size of the measure, note duration and accidentals automatically. However, if you feel that you would like to shrink or expand a measure, you can do so at any bar-line.

Counts in a measure are tracked so all measures are balanced.

Intelligent Undo/Redo function has an impressive memory. You'll be able to cycle through multiple undos or redos to get back to the nearest correct spot in your notation.
