In other words, if you know your way around a stave, you might get accustomed to Harmony Assistant easier and faster than you can.

You may also load various other music sheets and edit them by using the multiple tools that are put at your disposal. It’s even possible to create personal colored annotations over the sheet in progress, which makes Harmony Assistant get a bit closer to a real paper stave.

You may have the program play the notes for you at any time so you may hear where it requires changes, even if it’s just a half tone up or down. The program is even compatible with MIDI keyboards, which means that if you can play such an instrument, you can automatically enter the notes on the score sheet.

Harmony Assistant is a great tool if your passion is making music. Beginners should find the app easy to handle, thanks to the intuitive interface but the available features require at least some musical training.
