It lets you define your own symbols, and it is basically exactly what was described -- a word processor for music. It also has the added benefit of being able to read MIDI files from sequencers and other such products. It can output to dot matrix printers in various resolutions (IBM Proprinter/Epson FX-xx are all it supports, I thing), HP LaserJetII (not the plus, the fonts are too complicated I think) or Postscript, Encapsulated posctscript, and that about does it. I've seen the postscript output and it's gorgeous. The product is pretty flexible -- my standard method of printing scores is to write the music in my sequencer (Sequencer Plus MKII from Voyetra) and export a file into Copyist-- then I tweak it up, etc. Hope that's helpful to you. ~~~Steve -- /************************************************* * *Steven Abrams abrams@cs.columbia.edu * **************************************************/ #include #include
