Quotes from Reviews, Articles and Users:
----------------------------------------
"One of the best music editing and printing systems that we have seen so far...
a no-nonsense professional-level tool ... easy to master ... with an
outstandingly well-presented illustrated 45-page manual" [PC Plus, June 1994]
"Until recently the only music publishing systems have been expensive
retail-only packages costing several hundred pounds. The release of NoteWorthy
changes all that. ... NoteWorthy is provided with one of the best tutorial and
help systems I have seen on any program... an excellent program which is easy
to use and quick to learn" [UK Computer Shopper, April 1993]
"... my profession is very much that of a musician; about computers I know
very little, and indeed I would only just regard myself as computer-literate.
The new NoteWorthy Publishing Program, however, seems to have been written with
just such people in mind ... for the average person interested in composing,
arranging or just experimenting, this program gives almost unbelievable value
for money." [The Recorder, December 1994]
[and from users...]
"I can honestly say that I have seldom, if ever, used software to perform
relatively complex functions which has been so *truly* "user-friendly". Within
two hours of loading to my hard disk I had entered, edited and printed a
complete A4 of full score!"
"Hard to fault"
"The tutorial is absolutely first-class... an indescribably desirable feature,
which should in my opinion be copied by everyone from Microsoft onwards!"
"A very competent product"
"I congratulate you on such an excellent piece of software"
"Delighted with the high quality acheived by this program"
"I am most impressed - congratulations on the product"
"One of the best pieces of software I have ever used"
"The software is easy to use and with minimal practice I can write music
quickly and efficiently"
"The program is superb"
"I think it's a lovely package"
"... worth every penny ..."
"A very impressing program, easy to learn and use"
"I continue to regard NoteWorthy as the best thing since sliced bread"
