A scorewriter, or notation software or music notation processor, is software used for creating sheet music. A scorewriter is to music notation what a word processor is to text, in that they both allow fast corrections (undo), flexible editing, easy sharing (via the internet or compact storage media), and clean, uniform layout. In addition, most scorewriters are able to ''sound out'' and record the notes—especially useful for novice composers or when no musicians are readily available—making them, by the same analogy, both word processors and previsualization software. ==Comparison with multitrack sequencer software== Multitrack sequencer software and scorewriters typically employ different methods for the input and display of music notation. Scorewriters are based on traditional music notation, which originates from European classical music. They use graphical symbols representing durations in sound and silence, along with symbols for dynamics, articulations and tempo. Some even allow the user to import or create their own symbols for use in scoring. Multitrack sequencer software typically uses a multi-track recorder metaphor as the main interface, consisting of multiple tracks and track segments. Individual tracks can be edited using a graphic notation in the form of a piano-roll guided input for the control of MIDI-based hardware or software instruments. In addition to these two approaches, a third approach has emerged that combines the above two methods of score input into a digital audio workstation. This allows the user to score parts using traditional notation, using the graphic notation of the piano roll and to record acoustic or electronic instruments in real time alongside the existing scores. In all three cases it is possible to use the computer keyboard and mouse for input control or to use a MIDI keyboard for data entry that is later edited using traditional notation or piano-roll based notation. Some argue that the implementation of traditional notation in multitrack sequencer software and digital audio workstations is limited and inferior in contrast to engraving quality programs such as Finale, Sibelius, LilyPond and MuseScore. 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「Scorewriter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
