Share Pizzicato scores with others and on the Internet
If you want to
send one of your Pizzicato files to a person who does not possess
Pizzicato, you have several possibilities:
If you only
want the person to hear your score, you can export your
".PIZ" file into a MIDI file. Go in the
"File" menu and select the "Export in
MIDI... " item, select the default choice and give a
name for your file. It will become a ".MID"
file and you can send it as an attached file to an email.
Windows and Macintosh will be able to play this file
directly. This type of file can also be open and worked
with other music programs.
If you only
want the person to print your file, you can send a
".PDF" file. On Macintosh, you can directly
print the PDF file. On Windows, an utility file named
CutePDF lets you print in PDF. It is free and you can
install it on Windows exactly as a printer. When you
print a Pizzicato file, select the CutePDF printer and
the utility asks you a name for the file to create. You
can download it at : http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp (On the
left of this page, you will find 2 links : Free download
and Free Converter. Download and execute them to install
them. Then restart your computer.) The PDF file of your
score can then be sent by email and the receiver can
display it and print it.
If you want
the person to listen to the file while displaying the
score, you can send the .PIZ file and suggest to the
person to download the Pizzicato free demonstration
version. He/she will be able to open your file in the Professional
demonstration mode and will be able to play the file,
modify the tempo, follow the score, play selected parts
only and make temporary changes. But he/she will not be
able to print it and save it. If you work with Pizzicato
Light, the person will be able to print, modify and save
the score with the shareware version.
To display a
score on a website, you can combine the .PDF graphic file with a
.MID file of this score. Your visitors will be able to listen to
the .MID file and to print the .PDF file directly from your
website.
