Musink Lite

Musink is a free music-composition software package that lets you write music at unprecedented speeds.

With Musink, you can create anything from orchestral scores, to short-musical-snippets, to exercise books. Musink is particularly useful if you are a publisher, drummer, or writing music for many voices.

Musink is optimised for speed and ease of use. Notes are added by simply putting the mouse where you would like a note, and clicking. Musink automatically takes care of music rules and layout for you. Everything possible is automated, including note duration, page margins, title positioning, bracket-numbering, stem directions, and mark-arrangement. You can even change the entire look of a score in seconds, simply by choosing a different template (page layout). These features are designed to let you focus on what you came to do: write music.

Musink can play back your music to you through any GM-compatible MIDI device. It can also export your work as MIDI and lets you export MIDI loops.

Musink can publish your score to as a PDF or XPS documents, or as a series of PNG image files. Your score can then be directly dropped into Microsoft Word documents or put onto the web without requiring plugins.

Musink was created by Lee Reid and is free to download. Tutorials and help documentation are available at http://wiki.musink.net
