Great for Musicians, Helpful for Practice July 29, 2008
Shalla DeGuzman (United States)
Why purchase another music sheet again? With Notation Musician, you can turn a MIDI file (there are hundreds of free MIDI online) into sheet music.
This will print music sheets for you. (If you want to be able to edit music sheets, get the Notation Composer by Notation Software And this software does other things for practicing that's just amazing (too many to mention) check out http://www.notation.com/ and click on tours and see what else it does.
I'm trying out the 30 day free trial, a great way to see if it works for me.
Midinotate helps OLD muscian... April 1, 2006
Thomas M. Spillman (Austin, TX)
I returned to music after a layoff of about 50 years. I play Horn in F (French Horn) in a local community band, something I thought was in my past, rather than in my future. I am having a ball and Midinote Composer has helped me reach that goal.
I enter the music I have been assigned (or my part of band pieces) in Composer. This allows me to practice more efficiently. For example, my Horn Teacher assigned several duets. I entered both parts in Composer. I can set up a practice loop, which will automatically repeat a specified number of times, increasing the tempo, from perhaps 80% to 110%. This allows me to start off slowly then increase the tempo as I gain facility. I can play along with both parts, or either part, by muting the parts as desired.
I have some scanning software which has facilitated my data entry procedure. In addition, there is a huge amount of music available on the web. There us, for example, a classical music site. I have downloaded all of Beethoven and Mozart's symphonies and many more pieces of music. Even if I didn't have a band available to play with, I can now play my part in any of these.
I can remember playing the Horn part to the William Tell Overture years ago when I was in High School (yes, they did have High schools then!). I can do it again now, something I never expected.
There are a few wrinkles in MidiNotate Composer, but it is WELL worth the money, IMNSHO...
Midinotate Musician / Composer Software April 1, 2006

The main reason I use Midinotate is that I was looking for something that I could download 'midi' music files into and view as sheet music and print out that sheet music. Most sites charge a membership fee or at least a one off fee for downloading sheet music but with MidiNotate you can download the midi file usually 20-30k then play the music inside the program, then edit it if you have (MidiNotate Composer) or just print it out if you have Musician. Even with MidiNotate Musician you get to do some editing like moving notes around or deleting them and being able to move and change the instruments within the tune.
I now use it regular to download Midi files from around the world, then if I would like to try to play them I print out the sheet music and download the file to my Keyboard and play along. It is the best way of learning a tune I have ever found. Well done to all at MidiNotate, Brilliant piece of software.
A great product. April 1, 2006

I very rarely buy programs online. In the last 5 years i bought a game (HL2) and an on screen keyboard (HappyEO) and I recently bought MidiNotate Musician.
I bought Musician because i first tried the free trial version and thought it was fantastic. I'm pretty terrible at using programs, im not even that good at navigating web pages to be honest. MidiNotate Musician though is a program that is presented like a web page and very easy to navigate with simple icons that are pleasant to look at.
The main reason i bought the product is that i was looking for something that i could load 'midi' music files into and view as sheet music. Some sites charge a membership fee for downloading sheet music but if you get the midi file (that's a tiny file usually something like 30kb that plays music electronically using your computers sound card instead of an actuall recording/mp3 which can be many megabytes)
I had a midi arrangemnt of pachelbels cannon that i realy really liked and wanted to see as sheet music. I loaded it wiht MidiNotate and there it was. Fantastic, i could even turn on and off the various instruments as it played.
This program is fantastic if you want to play along with a piece. Just turn off your part and play it from the sheetmusic displayed while the other parts play along with you.
As i said i'm not that good with techincal things and find most programs to be 'presented and laid out' for the techincal minded, even many web sites i find to be badly designed.(*** note: i'm inserting this as an edit after first trying to post this review. A good example of my point is that when i tried to post this review it went to some 'create pen name blah blah use your card etc. I was confused and had to spend a few minutes figuring what the heck that was all about before i could progress and post this***) MidiNotate though is very intuitive. It's easy to get going right away and has lots of functions that i haven't gone into because i use it for the purpose i've talked about so haven't looked into the other features yet.
You might not know it from this review but i appreciate excellence in things and moan about most movies, games, web site designs etc to my friend. I'm actually rarely impressed but when i am i go the other way and enthusiastically talk bout the things i'm impressed with. I believe excellence should be rewarded so even though i'm not affiliated with Midinotate except as a user I want to say i reccomend them highly.
Sorry for my awful spelling, i was too lazy to use a spell checker. ;)
