Dear Luigi,
thank you for your question.
We’d be surprised if you found FORTE notation software in a store in Canada…
Let us suggest you use amazon.com to order your copy.

What I’ve really been waiting to see is a quicker loading program.
I’ve got 12 gig of ram memory on a relatively quick processor and tons of storage space,
plus many years of practice using speed up tools to maximize the speed of my pc.
I’m running a 64 bit unit with Windows 10 Home. So waiting for FORTE notation Premium to load for
20 seconds is irksome.
On another matter . . . I downloaded 8.5 and was a bit put off when I learned that the files it produced
were not backwards compatible with 8.0 That means I’ll need to purchase a second copy of your software if I have reason to run the file (produced with 9 on my desktop) at a later date with my laptop.
I understand my assumptions here may be wrong. While I’m competent with computer hardware
I’ll confess my knowledge of music software is rudimentary. For the money I’ve invested I’ve been very
pleased with your product with only a few minor complaints like these. Since this my hobby and not my
profession (being a musician), I sometimes view your improvements as adding more to my learning curve
. . . i.e., what I have to relearn when you make improvements that include reassigning key functions and
the menus. That makes me more inclined to stay with the older version that I’ve come to know rather than
upgrade for features I’m unlikely to use.
All of that being “said”, I very much appreciate what your company has accomplished and the
quality of your support personnel. I’d be interested in learning 3rd party feedback on your software
help section. It seems very much geared to the professional and I (as a neophyte) find it a bit difficult
to get around it – it could be more intuitive (??). I expect I’m in the small minority with these comments
but if they are helpful to you – well, that’s why I took the time to write them.
Keep up the excellence,
Al Fitzgerald
Dear Al,
thank you very much for your feedback. We will try to get these things done, too.
FORTE 8.5 Basic was a music notation starter special for users that do not have FORTE.
Fact is that we have improved the file format in FORTE 9. FORTE 8.5 Basic uses that new format.
That is the reason why it is not possible to open new FORTE files in old FORTE versions.
But I think we will find a solution for that. Please check your inbox.

Does this version fix the faint ledger line problem? I rarely print out music but play directly from the UI. The faint (almost no-readable) ledger line is a big problem for me.
Dear William,
FORTE 9 has all-black ledger lines,
so you’ll be able to read them better.
Kind regards,

I’ve had Forte 8 Premium since it came out.
My problem with using Forte 8 Premium is in the voice-recording feature. When I sing into the microphone, the program does not record my voice properly. (In fact, it’s not even close.)
Does the new version 9 have improvements to the vocal-recognition feature? I did not see any mention of that on the videos.
Dear Tom,
thank you for your question.
No, the recording feature was not improved for FORTE 9.
Generally, we cannot recommend using your voice to record notes
– You’d need to sing very clear, accented, without any vibrato etc.
Maybe you can try with a Piano or a Midi device
(there’s a midi article how to do that if you check the cloud at the side of this page).
Kind regards,
Your FORTE team
