Tip of the Day

Music Book Viewer

Do you want to get rid of sheet books, and use an electronic note sheet instead?

There are some systems around using proprietary hardware and software; but why not use a laptop and free software?

Read more about my Music Book Viewer software program.

Software of the Day

CASM Editor

The CASM section in style files holds Ctab and other settings. Only some of these can be set at the keyboard; but the CASM Editor software will edit all CASM data.

The CASM format was changed in 2008. This software does not support the new format.

More at the CASM Editor Home Page.
