Score Writer’s intuitive interface puts powerful editing tools and symbol palettes at your fingertips, so you spend time composing music instead of searching through menus. For complete orchestral arrangements, lead sheets, individual cues or even simple notation examples, there’s no faster way to create professional notation than Score Writer. Score Writer's new features only add more power, not confusion as in other notation programs.

Articulations
Choose Notes>Flip>Articulations command to move articulations to the opposite side of stem. Clicking on an articulation in the palette applies it to any selected notes.

Capo Setting
Guitar Frames can be changed using a capo command. The original chord name can be displayed above the new name or the new chord name can be displayed below the frame with the original above the frame.

Colors Themes
User can set your own workspace color themes.

Quick Paste
Select a passage and Alt (option on Mac)-click to paste it into the score. Repeat this as many times as necessary.

Smarter Mouse Entry
Mouse entry automatically recognizes polyphonic rhythms and adjusts stems and voices to accommodate. Rests are automatically entered. The layout adjusts to accommodate notes based on allotment tables. In other words, measures wrap down to the next system to avoid crowded notes. This can be turn off by the user.

Show/Hide Palettes
One keystroke to show or hide all open palettes.

Split System
Splitting a system starts a new system at current measure.  Score Writer will try to keep this measure as a start of a new system whenever laying out a page.

Symbol Color
You can now change the color of symbols in the score - notes, lyrics, text, hairpins, dynamics, etc. This is particularly useful for emphasizing important score information especially in educational music. The symbols print in color, too.

Title Items
Title items can be place on every page, not just the first.

View Options
The View popup menu now has a Fit Page to Screen Width or Height.
