Key Features

Write Beautiful Sheet Music, Fast: Musink allows users to compose scores, exercise books, and MIDI files quickly and easily, with the vendor claiming that the software takes care of the hard work and produces aesthetically pleasing sheet music.

Write Music Easily, Quickly: With Musink's simple point-and-click interface, users can write music by clicking where they want a note, eliminating the need for complex 'note toolboxes' and measure rewriting. The software is said to provide a straightforward and intuitive way to add complex music notation to scores.

Automatic Page Layout: According to the vendor, Musink saves time by automatically arranging music on the page, including placing titles, numbering pages, and ensuring a visually appealing layout. Users can reportedly transform their compositions from print-ready PDFs to web-ready images or formats suitable for use on the iPad.

Leverage MIDI tools you love: Musink integrates into existing MIDI setups and works with preferred MIDI tools, allowing users to play back their scores through any MIDI device, such as a VST Host or a player piano. The software also enables users to import and export MIDI files, converting them into sheet music for easier notation.

Rapid Note Entry: Musink's unique system understands percussion notation conventions and provides symbols for various drum techniques with a single click. According to the vendor, this feature allows users to stop wasting time writing note durations that are irrelevant to specific instruments like snare drums. Musink also enables users to write voices across several staves, which merge during publishing to PDF.

Musink Pro is packed with features that enhance productivity, creativity, and enjoyment: Musink Pro offers small enhancements that the vendor claims can save users hours of time and allow them to focus on writing. The software includes an automagic setup feature, dedicated email support, and features to facilitate effective management of larger projects, such as the ability to easily rename and reorder sections, exercises, and movements.

MIDI in, MIDI out: Musink Pro accepts MIDI input and offers improved playback abilities. According to the vendor, the software plays back notes as users add and drag them on the score, providing instant feedback. Users can import MIDI files into Musink Pro for notation purposes and can directly input raw MIDI instructions into scores for precise control over playback.

Deeply Customizable PDF Creation: Musink Pro provides a publish-to-PDF system that automatically lays out music on the page. The software includes a template editor that allows users to customize templates or create their own, ensuring a consistent and unique style for their compositions. According to the vendor, Musink Pro offers flexible customization options, such as changing layout logic, leaving blank pages for handwritten notes, and preprocessing scores for tidier or easier reading.
