Keyboard & Fretboard windows

For anyone who prefers using a keyboard or guitar to notation, these beautiful new windows are ideal. Simply click on the keys or frets to input notes and chords – or ‘play’ your computer’s QWERTY keys just like a piano!
But they’re not just for inputting. Select any note/chord, and the keyboard or fretboard shows how it’s played. And when you play the score back, you can follow the music on the keyboard or fretboard, too – even if it’s written for other instruments.
