“I've been using MusicEase for more than 18 years and it has been able to do just about everything that I needed in standard music notation. It's easy to use, flexible, and has excellent technical support.” - Karl Kroeger, Composer and Music Editor, Professor Emeritus of Music, University of Colorado

“This product [Christian Virtual Hymnal] has gone from being "useful" to "essential" now for what I do at church and a music ministry in Nursing Homes. What a great time-saver! ” - D. G.

“The simplicity of MusicEase makes changes and new arrangements very easy. For most songs, I can enter notes, chords and lyrics in around 15 minutes. I realized that I now have over 4,000 songs in my MusicEase folder. ” - Dennis Scott

“Thanks again for a superior product! It is a real pleasure to find well-written software!” - J. B.

“"I really do like working with MusicEase, and use it for all my work now, even quite complicated scores - although my students - (I am a lecturer in Music Theory and Composition) - tend to go for the whizz-bang programs like Finale and Sibelius."” - V. O.

Professional Review

"You have every right to be proud, it seems to me. It's possible to sit at the keyboard and actually type music, once you learn a few commands. And it's certainly not hard to learn. The folks at [fill in the name of a company well known for its notation software] could learn a lot from you!"

Greg Sandow, Reviewer for Musician Magazine

About MusicEase Software

MusicEase Software has been involved in the development of music notation software for over 20 years. Special attention has been paid to creating a good user interface. In particular, constraints have been used so users generally need have no knowledge of or pay attention to the positioning of notational elements. Other techniques from artificial intelligence have also been incorporated to make our software more powerful.
