QuickScore Elite Level II 10 expands your composition and notation horizons
in many new ways. First of all you'll break new ground by having several
files open at once, cutting and pasting between them at will. Saving your
compositions as MP3 files allows you in one stroke to create professional-quality
CDs which you can distribute as you please. Opening and saving MusicXML
files allows you to exchange files between QuickScore and other music
notation, scanning and analysis programs with virtually all the scoring
information intact.
And of course entering and editing your music is faster and easier than
ever. Entering perfect slurs and tuplet markings over notes is now a one-step
operation. The same with editing adjustable symbols. Lyrics and accidentals
automatically space themselves, intelligently avoiding overlaps. Print
condensed scores complete with abbreviated track names and automatic system
indentations with a few mouse clicks. (November 8, 2004)

elements, and allows you the freedom to place elements on the page regardless
of musical rules. This freedom allows you to easily create small excerpts
to be included in work that is predominantly text, as well as very complex
scores which are very difficult to create using software which must follow
musical rules. (July 15, 1996)

by pressing the F1 key. When entering or editing adjustable symbols (slurs,
crescendi, endings, etc.), you are prompted from the status line on how
to proceed.

programs. You can now save your scores as TIFF and BMP files. These
files can be imported into popular graphics and word processing programs
like Microsoft Word and Corel Draw and any of the hundreds of other programs
that support these formats. (December 15, 1995)
