capella is a musical notation program or scorewriter developed by the German company ''Capella Software AG'' (formerly WHC), running on Microsoft Windows or corresponding emulators in other operating systems, like Wine on Linux〔 and others on Apple Macintosh. Capella requires to be activated after a trial period of 30 days. The publisher writes the name in lower case letters only. The program was initially created by Hartmut Ring, and is now maintained and developed by Bernd Jungmann. Being one of the earliest computer programs for music notation, and having a relatively moderate price compared with Finale or Sibelius, capella could win market share, despite the drawbacks of running only on Windows, and being available originally only in German. Capella claims to have 300,000 users for the music notation program and 120,000 for the OCR program. Digital sheet music in capella formats is available in various online music libraries, especially in German speaking areas. The German Protestant hymnal ''ドイツ語:Evangelisches Gesangbuch'' has been digitized using capella software. Besides in German, capella is available in English (US and British), Dutch, Finnish, Polish (version 5.3) and Czech (capella 2008). ==Features== The current version is Capella Professional 7.1, which includes guitar chord notation ability, and guitar tab writing functions, in addition to the standard music notation tools. A ''capella start'' program is offered with several restrictions for a lower price. A free ''capella reader'' can display, print and play a capella score. Data entry is possible via computer keyboard entirely, via mouse or in a combination with a MIDI keyboard. It is intended for multi staff scores like choir music, or orchestral music. Capella is a practically-oriented application suited for amateur and professional musicians alike. It includes engraving as well as MIDI import and export. ''capella'' can play back the score (the full score or an arbitrary selection of staves) via the computer's sound card, to MIDI devices or using VST modules. ''capella's'' ''captune'' module allows to select the output channels and to fine-tune the sounds. Version 7 brought ''live voice extraction:'' one can switch between the view on the full score for the whole orchestra and the view on a selection of the staves of one or a group of instruments. On printing and exporting, only the voices being shown in the current view will be used. Specific instruction of individual voices can be marked as "only visible in extracted voice". Live voice extraction is also available in the free Reader program; in the limited version of the editor ''Capella start'', such live voice extractions are not available for editing. Version 7.1 introduced Unicode compatibility; UTF-8 is now the standard text encoding format. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capella (notation program)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
