Welcome to EZPNO!
Let the EZPNO Tutor show you how to play your favorite songs step-by-
step using 3D graphics. Load one of the sample songs or import any
standard MIDI file and follow the 88-key piano. Zoom in for better
visualization and let EZPNO show you the notes to press, the fingers
to use, and how long to hold each note. Test your sight-reading skills
with a MIDI keyboard as EZPNO tracks your progress and keeps score.
Create original works or enter your favorite sheet music using the
powerful features of the EZPNO Editor. Simply open the Edit Window, and
place each note at the desired line or space on the staff. Complete the
measure by adding rests, triplets, ties, and song lyrics.
When you are ready, fire up the EZPNO Player to listen to your new creation.
Set the tempo and volume, and choose among 128 instruments. Follow the
scrolling song lyrics for karaoke-style sing-alongs.
Have fun!
Andy Kula

1.3 Disabled editing features in pre-registered version
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
You can have immediate access to the full power of EZPNO just by
calling me at 1-800-313-6070. I will give you a special registration key
that you may input at program start-up.
Prior to registration, the following editing features have been disabled:
(1) Reloading of edited song files for use with a sound card
The pre-registered version of EZPNO is designed so that you may create
music notation, hear how it sounds on your sound card, and save it
to disk as often as you like.
However, once you have cleared the song from memory (eg. by loading
another song, exiting the program, etc.), you may reload your work
only when the program is operating in "PC speaker mode" or
"Quiet mode".
If you have a sound card or MIDI interface connected to your system,
you may force one of these modes with a command line switch (-pc for
PC speaker mode, -q for Quiet mode).
eg. At the DOS prompt type: ezpno -pc
This will force the program to run in PC speaker mode.
(see 3.2 EZPNO command line switches).
(2) Saving a song as a standard MIDI file
In the registered version of EZPNO, a song may be saved as a standard
MIDI file (format 1.0). This file format is a music industry standard,
and is recognized by many other music software products.
(3) Saving/Loading the measure edit buffer
In the registered version of EZPNO, song measures that have been
cut or copied may be saved to disk so that song parts can be
transferred between songs.
