FORTE 12 - the best tool to write sheet music
The operation of the FORTE app is made as simple as possible and is based on the familiar concepts that you are already used to from the common Office products. The program layout combines the tasks selected in the 13 main tabs and lets you reach them quickly. This way, all necessary notation tools are quickly accessible and you continue the flow with a minimum of steps to get to specific notation functions.
There are three variants: Basic, Home and Premium. For each level of power and for each notation need, you will find the right tool of music notation for you. With the all-in-one premium package, you can scan and import scores with the ScanScore module, write full orchestral scores with up to 32 instruments per system, record live using your MIDI device to write your notation, add arrangements with the Bandora module, use FORTE Player's extensive sound collection, save audio files as MIDI playback, and more.
When setting up your score, the Score Wizard assists you when you start the program, and you have an extensive list of tools from which to choose. FORTE has two standard modes: select and insert mode, according to whether you want to write or modify your score.
The most useful tool of this sheet music software is the Input Palette. In the Input Palette you will find all the notation items available in FORTE to write a complete score. The handy view of all the score components offered in FORTE in this palette makes writing much more comfortable and avoids hours of browsing through the entire program hierarchy.
When writing your music score, the one-of-a-kind music ruler helps you enter notes exactly to the beat of the bar. The program literally thinks in measures. So there won't ever be any wrong measure. This music notation software independently adds the rests to complete the measure. And you just continue with your great musical motifs.
