Denemo

Musical sheets are the backbone of the modern audio industry. These unsung heroes constitute both the heart and the unseen pillars of most popular tracks today. However small their exposure is, musical scores still have to be generated, and it is precisely for this task that Denemo has been created. With it, one can build original compositions and even transcribe MID tracks automatically.

In essence, this program is for composers what a debugger is for programmers, as it features a playback option allowing users to check at each step that the note transcribed is actually the one intended. Several common functions are available to users, such as the option to input notes through the keyboard, or with the mouse (by employing on-screen buttons).

The entire range of musical notes is available for use and one can also insert split and blank measures. Multiple staves can be defined and clefs, keys or time signatures can also be loaded into the score. While powerful, these features are somewhat common to most transcribers.

The program does stand out through some original options, such as the ability to insert notes through a MIDI instrument. Also, one can place links on the sheet to trace back to the original document. This can be especially useful when dealing with complex scores of multiple pages and with numerous supporting files.

As a side use, one can employ this utility for educational practice, as the ability to playback notes is a thoroughly good method of providing aural training. Note reading exercises are also viable when combined with this program, more-so when dealing with multiple percussion staves. This high degree of flexibility allows the application to be employed in both professional and amateur settings of all skill levels. Once satisfied with their work, users are free to export projects to PDF, PNG or MID formats.

Summing up, one can describe Denemo as a very powerful tool for composers and song transcribers, which can also be used for educational purposes. The ability to check one's work right after notes have been inserted can significantly improve the workflow and eliminate errors early on.
