Pizzicato Choir for Windows and Mac

Description

Just as you create a letter with a word processor, Pizzicato gives you the tools to write, print and hear your music for the choir. You can enter the music with combinations of mouse clicks, tool palettes, keystrokes, the virtual piano keyboard, or directly through a MIDI keyboard, step by step or in real time. The music notation is automatically spaced correctly. You can then zoom in and adjust any aspect of the music notation at any time. You can add accidentals, tuplets, chords as well as many other standard symbols and hear their influence on the playback of the notes. Select measures and use the copy/paste function, for instance to duplicate measures or to transpose a melody without the need to rewrite it manually. You can use and manipulate up to 8 voices per measure. You can enter music by playing the notes in real time at your tempo on a music keyboard connected through a MIDI interface (for instance MIDI/USB interface). The score is displayed and you can make corrections as required. You can edit the notes graphically as on a piano roll editor. Music notation is adapted accordingly on the staff. Add chord symbols and convert them automatically to notes on the staff. Add a title, the composer name or any free text associated to a page or a measure. You can enter the lyrics just by typing in the text syllables and Pizzicato will place them correctly centered on the notes, up to 8 lines of lyrics per staff. You can even copy the lyrics from the text of another program (Word, Open Office,...). You can adjust the position of lyrics and change the font, size and colour of each line.
