QuickScore Elite Level II Introduction

QuickScore Elite Level II is Sion Software's premier software for composing music - a powerful and integrated 48-track scoring, audio and sequencing program together in one package. This is the program that Electronic Magazine awarded their 1998 Editors' Choice for notation software upon its debut and has won the Top Ten Reviews Gold Award for the past four years running.

Edit your music using your choice of score, piano roll, controller, event list, audio or song editors, all included and all fully integrated. Once you understand one editor, you automatically understand the others. QuickAudio, a digital audio file editor, is included. VST instruments, audio and MIDI effects are supported. Print on any Windows-supported printer. Version 2008 includes unspecified updates.
