Fretboard notation and multitracking

What It Is
Voicings is a guitar notation and multitracking program. You can write instrument parts and create arrangements using a wide range of sounds. The natural fretboard notation and chordal approach supports individual string sustain in each score part.

Voicings provides a fretboard, score editor and MIDI amp. Fretboard analysis displays notes, intervals and chord names. The score editor is for composing and multitracking musical scores. The MIDI amp is for selecting sounds.

Voicings Scores
Voicings scores are a natural way to notate music for string instruments. Enter notes and chords onto the fretboard as you would play/hold them, and the timing from event to event. Played notes last till you release or re-fret the strings, so you don't have to calculate note values and complex ties to achieve sustain patterns. On score playback, you hear and see exactly how a part is played.
