Finale is generally considered to be the industry standard, but Sibelius is beginning to take over as it is simpler. They are dedicatedВ music engraving publishing programs. Sibelius and Finale are ideal for notation if your music is to be presented to a publishing house. It is easy to confuse the different types of music software.

In addition it is the sequencer of choice for an increasingly larger proportion of the professional recording industry and also integrates very well with Protools in the professional audio production arena. When working as a consultant for the Music Department at Southampton University I chose Logic as I considered that it has much better score-writing functions than other sequencer applications such as Cubase and Cakewalk, and so is more useful for music students in all areas of the curriculum.

Music publishing/engraving software such as Sibelius may have more scorewriting features, but the fact that Logic combines all these functions into one application make it the best choice of software for music students. Other more specialised audio softwareВ such as Protools do not have the advanced and versatile MIDI and scorewriting capabilities of Logic. It is the integration of these three aspects that make Logic an ideal general music application for music students and professional commercial composers.

A handy tip for jazz scores: A display quantize of 8 & 12 will display swingВ quavers as straightВ quavers.ДЄpple Logic Pro is a very powerful mac music recording software application that combines MIDI sequencing, audio recording and music notation (scoring).

Always use the appropriate score style to supply the initial clef, clefs from the part box are for when you need a change of clef.

You apply small note size and stems upwards by double clicking on the note to get a note attributes box.

In addition to the single grace notes available in Attributes Menu> Independent, you can have double beamedВ grace notes by setting up one or all score style(s) as polyphonic, one channel with no rests just for grace notes.

With compound time signatures, user rests can be placed to change the display of how notes are tied, eg placing a dotted crotchet user rest on top of beats 1, 4, 7, 10 in 12/8 will display dotted crotchets instead of dottted minims or other default displays.

Rests are displayed automatically where there are no notes, but rests can also be entered manually from the partbox and freely positioned as with notes, usually only required when placing a fermata over a rest or graphically repositioning rests, or:.

without altering their musical position) by dragging while pressing OR with the layout tool.

Notes can be positioned and spaced graphically on the staff (i.e.

Available in the Layout Menu of the score window.

You can set MIDI meaning, ie staccato dots will actually shorten a MIDI note event, accents can add real velocity.

You can do this by going to Functions menu> Note events> Sustain Pedal to note length.

When editng sequences that contain MIDI sustain commands, it is often best to convert the sustains to actual note lengths.

Pedal on and off signs from the partbox will affect MIDI sustain: if you input a pedal on, no MIDI note off commands will apply on that channel until there is a pedal off sign.

You can leave the printer to print all the parts while you do something else. This is the best way to print individual parts, you can choose an individual instrument set, then print, choose another set, then print etc. 3) create instrument set with just one instrument and choose that set from the flip menu in DPB. There are various ways of viewing only one track instead of the whole score: 1) mute all the other tracks (not very efficient as they have to be muted in the arrange window) 2) Double click on the track (see above). Double click on a sequence in the list to display the contents, click on black square to see the list (see: link mode). in the event list you will either see a list of sequences or the contents of one sequence. The same process applies to other editors, e.g.

Click on the black square (top left) to view the entire score again. You can view one sequence only in the score window by double clicking on itвЂ™s staff.
