tools to write, print and hear your music for the choir.
Entering Music
 You can enter the
music with combination's of mouse clicks, tool palettes,
keystrokes, the virtual piano keyboard, or directly
through a MIDI keyboard, step by step or in real time.
- The music
notation is automatically spaced correctly. You can then
zoom in and adjust any aspect of the music notation at
any time.
- You can add
accidentals, tuplets, chords as well as many other
standard symbols and hear their influence on the playback
of the notes.
- Select
measures and use the copy/paste function, for instance to
duplicate measures or to transpose a melody without the
need to rewrite it manually.
- You can use
and manipulate up to 8 voices per measure.
 You can enter
music by playing the notes in real time at your tempo, on
a music keyboard connected through a MIDI interface (for
instance MIDI/USB interface).
- The score
is display and you can make corrections as you want.
- You can
edit the notes graphically as on a piano roll editor.
Music notation is adapted accordingly on the staff.
Fast entry of
notes and chords
- Using this
entry mode, you can select the rhythmic value of a note
just by moving the mouse to the right for longer duration
or to the left for shorter duration.
- You can
encode simple music with only the mouse. There is no need
to select tools on a palette or to use the keyboard.
- A similar
mode is used to enter the notes of an existing chord
progression, on one or more staves. A simple but powerful
note entry mode to translate chord symbols into real
notes.
Clef, key and
time signatures
- You can use
all clefs (G, F, C), standard or transposed (8). Change
the clef anywhere in the score.
- Select the
key signature (number of flats or sharps at the beginning
of the staff) and change it anywhere in the score.
- You can
transpose the score from one tone to another, just by
changing the key signature or by selecting an interval.
- Specify the
number of beats of the measure with the time signature
(4/4, 3/4, 6/8,...) and change the time signature
anywhere in the score.
- Create
composite time signatures (3+4/8), advanced key
signatures (mixing flats and sharps), free measures (with
no time signature), multi-measure rests, and customize
the measure appearance and content.
Chords, text and
lyrics
- Add chord
symbols and convert them automatically to notes on the
staff.
- Add a
title, the composer name or any free text associated to a
page or a measure.
- You can
enter the lyrics just by typing in the text syllables and
Pizzicato will place them nicely centered on the notes,
up to 8 lines of lyrics per staff.
- You can
even copy the lyrics from the text of another program
(Word, Open Office,...). You can adjust the position of
lyrics and change the font, size and color of each line.
Page layout of
the score
 Adjust the page layout, customize
the number of measures for each staff or more generally,
layout the music as you want it to look on the page.
- Add page
and measure numbers, brackets, instrument names, bars and
repeats.

global printing size.

print in any paper format, including booklet printing.
Other notation
features
- Assign
colors to notes, based on the note names, the pitches, or
individually.
- With an
existing chord progression, you can intuitively design a
melody.
- Pizzicato
can display the score so that the notes being part of the
current chord are displayed in green, the notes of
the associated scale are displayed in orange, and the other
notes are displayed in red.
- With this
system, green notes are the
strongest notes for building the melody, orange
notes may often be used as passage notes and red notes should be
avoided, except for rapid chromatic passages.
- It becomes
easy to design a melody on a chord accompaniment, because
the note colors help you to select the best notes.
- You can
test and try many possibilities by moving the notes or
changing the chords and seeing the note colors being
adapted.
Audio to Midi to
Score conversion
Pizzicato can now convert an audio
file (WAV) into a score. Play a melody on a flute,
guitar, piano,... through a microphone and
Pizzicato can help you to transcribe it into music
notation.
- The
Audio/Midi/Score window helps you to adjust the
conversion at each step and offers you several features,
like for instance:
Adjusting the start of audio notes
Delete, edit and add notes manually
Adjust the measure and beat positions
Work on several voices and staves,
based on different colors
Import a MIDI file or record freely in
MIDI, without the metronome, and convert it to a nice
sheet music by setting the measures and beats
intuitively
Record in real time the starts of
measures and intermediate beats, by clicking with the
mouse
Listen at any time to the audio and/or
score version of the music
Record an audio file in real time with
a microphone
Playback of the
score
Playing the score

measure. You can even play a section in a loop and still

playback takes into account the tempo, accents, nuances,
and special effects.

sound you want for each staff of the score, using the

effects by drawing a curve in the effects view, for
instance to add the precise shape of a glissando or a

through a USB/MIDI interface and Pizzicato can play the
score by using the sounds of your synthesizer.
An audio track

one audio track and synchronize it with the score.

record an audio track to add an acoustic instrument,
voices or sound effects.
