MOZART is a Music Processor for Windows. Using only the computer keyboard, you can create and edit sheet music. This can be printed with high-quality TrueType symbols on printers supported by Windows, and appears on the screen in standard notation as a WYSIWYG display. The primary objective of MOZART is to print parts for musicians, but MIDI files can be exported to provide an "aural preview" on multimedia PCs.

Features include: automatic alignment of notes in parallel parts; automatic bar-line entry; automatic default quaver (1/8th note) tail groupings; cut, copy, paste; dotted and double-dotted notes/rests; editable titles, headers, and footers; exporting MIDI files either "straight" or with "swing"; instant transposition; keyboard shortcuts for most common commands; note accents available include: attack, tenuto, staccato; note/rest symbols from breve (double whole note) down to hemidemisemiquaver (1/64th note); rapid note positioning using the cursor keys; setup program for easy installation; treble, bass, alto, and tenor clef options; triplets and other multiplets; TrueType symbols; up to 3 simultaneous parts on the Shareware version; up to 64 parts on the "Virtuoso" Edition; user-definable "swing" styles; extensive on-line, context-sensitive help.

Hardware Requirements
Any PC running Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher. (MOZART 1.4 was written for Windows 3.1; MOZART 2.0 requires Windows 95 or Windows NT. The new dual installation program in mozart20.zip detects which operating system is running and automatically installs the appropriate version.)

For music input: MOZART requires a computer keyboard and mouse, but in particular makes no demands about multimedia capability or the availability of other equipment such as musical keyboards.

For printed output: MOZART requires a raster device (eg laser printer, ink-jet printer, or dot matrix printer) supported by Windows. Even a simple 9 pin dot matrix printer will produce fairly acceptable results!

Playback: On multimedia PC's MOZART will play its music through the synthesiser on the sound card, or through an externally connected synthesiser - such as may be found in a MIDI keyboard. Note that the sound quality is largely dependent on the synthesiser employed.

mozart20.zip includes MOZART versions 2.0 and 1.4. When you unzip it you will find the installation program which will install version 2.0 if you're running Windows 95 or version 1.4 if you're running Windows 3.1.
