MusEdit is a powerful music notation editor which first went on sale in 1997 but after 14 years of continuous upgrades is now (as of March 1, 2011) offered FREE OF CHARGE to the music community! See bottom of this page for more details about the history of MusEdit, it's author Doug Rogers, his company (Yowza Software) and the reason MusEdit is now free (with open source code to come soon so other C++ developers can improve the program!)
Downloading MusEdit is easy - the whole program is still only around 3.5 megabytes in size! Think about that when you look at all the samples of what MusEdit can do! These days some programs that can barely do anything take up 250 Megabytes of hard disk space while the MusEdit program by itself (with out help and samples) can still fit on a floppy disk (if anyone has one anymore...).
Use MusEdit to write standard treble and bass music notation, tab notation for 2 - 16 string instruments in any tuning (including bass), rhythm notation, lyrics in any font, and to draw chord diagrams -either from a chord dictionary or by creating your own. Click on the samples above to see full screen examples of these features. You can also use MusEdit to translate standard music notation to tab, or vice versa; transpose; play your music as sound; print beautiful looking scores, and more... Plus, MusEdit comes with a well illustrated, 284 page manual as a pdf document.

Once you secure legitimate LifeSelector free credits high quality access, you need to spend them wisely. Credits are usually spent per "decision node" or per "scene unlock."
Let’s be honest. The internet is full of "free generators" and "cracked accounts." These are almost universally scams designed to steal your login credentials or infect your device with malware.
The Reality: LifeSelector is a paid service run by a major network (Paper Street Media). They do not give away unlimited credits. However, they do offer legitimate pathways to earn or trial their high-quality service for free.
Here is the breakdown of what actually works.
LifeSelector runs seasonal contests (Halloween, Christmas, Summer Splash) where they give away high-quality free credits to registered users. lifeselector free credits high quality

and other recent new features include...
Standard tablature indicates which fret and
string should be used to play notes, but it does not provide any information
about which finger on the fretting hand should be used to play the notes.
Ad-Tab (Advanced-Tab) is a system which can optionally be used with
standard tablature
to show this fingering information in an easy to see manner, as in this example:
This system of symbols is useful for beginning students - it shows them how to fret the notes, and it also makes the score fun to look at! Click here for more details about Ad-Tab in MusEdit.

diagrams into any
new tuning

The first lines of code for MusEdit were written in January, 1996 by Doug Rogers. I wrote most of the core part of the program while living in my 1971 Volkswagen Van, and while living in Blanding Utah and Berkeley California. MusEdit first went on sale in June, 1997. At that time the manual was 84 pages. The manual is now 284 pages - that indicates how many new features have been added in the 14 years of continuous upgrades.
For many years I managed to sell enough copies of MusEdit to survive in my van as I travelled around the country, constantly updating the code, answering technical questions, creating ads for magazines, etc. For a long time that VW van was truly the "world headquarters" of Yowza Software.
I never made enough from MusEdit to live a normal life though - ie. live in an apartment in a city. So when I felt the need to do that I would return to Berkeley and resume my alternate life as a scientist at UC Berkeley, working on the cameras for astronomical satellites - some of which went on the space shuttle. I even did some minor work for the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, now on the Hubble Space Telescope!
In October 2010 I started an open ended world trip (my second - I rode my bike around the world in 1984-85!) starting with six months in Vietnam, where I am now. I've been travelling all over the country on a motorbike and making tons of Vietnamese friends. In a couple of months I'll be heading for Cambodia, Laos, China, and beyond. I still live a very low budget lifestyle - a step up from the van, but rarely paying more than $10 for a hotel room - so I can travel quite a while on very little in savings.
Since I arrived in Vietnam I've found that it's almost impossible for me to provide the user support people would expect from software they had to pay money for, so I have decided to make MusEdit free for that reason. In a few more weeks I'll also be making it "Open Source" so anyone with a good knowledge of C++ can work on the code and make the improvements I simply no longer have time to spend on. I'd love to see MusEdit improve in a number of ways, but my heart (and mind) simply aren't into spending the hundreds of hours a month I used to put into MusEdit. When I post the code for MusEdit I'll also post my wishes and suggestions on things I've always wanted to see the program do, but never had the time or energy to finish.
Given my situation, please understand I'm unlikely to answer tech support questions about MusEdit. You can write to me, but I have so much else going on that quite frankly I'll probably never get around to answering. There is a pretty good MusEdit forum on Yahoo groups though - with lots of long time MusEdit users who often provide good answers to questions.
