If you\u2019re a musician, chances are you\u2019ve tried your hand at writing a song or two along the way. You might even have a host of tunes you\u2019d like to chart out, but you have no idea where to start. You\u2019re interested in trying out music writing software, but it all seems too expensive…<\/p>\n

It makes sense to start with a music writing software that\u2019s free, right? And with FORTE Free, you have nothing to lose\u2014and great composition software to gain.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at some of\u00a0the highlights of this software…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Free music writing software saves money<\/h3>\n

The fact that FORTE Free is, well, free, means you won\u2019t waste resources on your first experimentation into composing.<\/p>\n

Simple navigation<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s nothing worse (or more intimidating) than learning how to use a new program and then discovering it\u2019s impossible to locate the tools you need to start working! Most other music writing software is not as easy to navigate as FORTE.<\/p>\n

FORTE’s design and layout are clean, organized and set up for immediate use. And as you’ll discover, FORTE is set up to make things easy to locate from the start.<\/p>\n

Perfect for soloists<\/strong>
\nForte Free allows for one staff, which is perfect for experimenting with solo voice.<\/p>\n

The amazing ruler feature<\/strong>
\nThe ingenious ruler feature shows you where to put down the notes precisely to the beat. It adjusts automatically to the selected note value. Check it out:<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot<\/p>\n

Now imagine you want to put the next note on beat four and carry it over into the next measure… FORTE will automatically put the correct notation in for the held note to cross over the bar.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the note entry looks like a grid on each measure. Using the ruler, you simply put the note in the measure and the software immediately fills in the rests.<\/p>\n

Why is this so amazing? Because…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You do not have to manually insert the rests yourself<\/li>\n
  2. This is a significant improvement over other music writing software out there. Other programs generally require you to write both the notes and the rests<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you decide to take the plunge into composing, FORTE Free<\/a> really is the smartest choice on the market!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
