Notation solutions for professionals and hobbyists |
||
|
ScoreWizardRegardless of which note entry method you choose: From only a few mouse-clicks the ScoreWizard will generate your preferred score including complete layout! |
|
PC Keyboard — quick and easyUse your PC keyboard like a typewriter, i.e. the C key on the keyboard is used to notate the note C. You can listen to the notes as they are entered. In combination with another key you can change note value, octave and accidental. |
||
Real-time, and step-entry notation using your MIDI keyboard
You can enter in real-time or step-entry mode. With real-time entry you play a polyphonic piece in the correct rhythm. The quantizing capability of capella will iron out minor irregularities. One more mouse click and your recording is confirmed: Your ideas have been set as a score. |
||
Mouse notationSimply place the notes onto the staff using the mouse. |
||
MousePianoSimply click on the MousePiano's keys to enter notes. Here too, notes are entered lightning fast using the built- in note-entry aids ("zebra-crossing mode", shortcut key).) |
||
Notation fonts and styles |
||
|
capella offers you six different notation fonts from renaissance music to jazz.
You can also save your own new fonts or variations and "crossbreeds" taken from existing fonts in separate styles. Style templates can be individually allocated to your scores. | |
| Given that capella lets you present notes without stems and/or without heads, those who like experimenting, will find almost no limits to the possibilities available in defining individual notations. | ||
Ingenious automatic slur function |
||
|
Capella's automatic slur function makes editing scores even easier. The software takes care of 99% of editing work.
At any given point you can manually intervene. |
|
Listening and playback |
||
|
capella supports the unique capella-tune technology, putting you in complete control of capella's tonal palette. Ornaments like trills, dynamic gradations, support for capella Vienna orchestra, echo effects and playback according to swing or Waltz rhythms are all reflected during playback. Read more about capella-tune. | |
Automated lyrics function |
||
|
Simply type in your lyrics (including separating hyphens) and capella will assign the individual syllables to
their correct position below the notes. If things start to get a little tight, the notes are spread
apart accordingly. |
|

|
) Use the tablature command to convert your score into a professional guitar tablature. |
|
Adding graphics to the score |
||
The pallets)
Graphic objects are selected from pre-defined pallets using the mouse.
Experts can define their own individual pallets from the symbols available in capella's
character set. |
||
Welcome to the graphics gallery!A graphics gallery can be created for and attached to each score. The gallery stores your regularly used graphic objects. capella comes complete with several interesting galleries that contain special notations, guitar frets and much more. |
||
Versatile graphic objectsAll graphic objects can be scaled, stretched and compressed and can be placed in front or behind the notes. This way watermarks covering the entire page can be placed underneath the score. |
||
Always in touch with the outside world |
||
|
Import & Export(I): MIDI and MusicXMLcapella can read standard MIDI files (format 0 and 1) and write format 1. This means that the entire MIDI world is available as both source and target for all your score printing and music publishing needs.
capella imports and exports MusicXML files. This feature facilitates import of score sheets from Finale® or Sibelius® while maintaining their layout as far as it complies with MusicXML specifications. |
|
Import & Export(II): GraphicsYou can insert any graphic object or image that has been created using other Windows applications into your capella score via the copy-and-paste function. Conversely, you can export the capella score (also in color) using any of the common graphic file formats. |
|
Import & Export(III): Web-PublishingAs far as your capella scores are concerned, the Internet is only a few mouse clicks away. capella's web site export does not require you to have any knowledge of coding web sites. Click the icon on the toolbar and within no time you have a completely formatted web page displaying your score and with an embedded player. Visitors to your web site can therefore listen to your work however large it might be. Automatically embedded links allow the visitor to flip through all pages of a large score. |
capella file format is the standard |
|
Because more than 300,000 registered users are already working with capella, capella's file format has become the standard as far as notation programs are concerned. Indeed, you will find thousands of free scores in private collections across the internet. |
capella's programming interface |
|
Although capella comes complete with a full set of refined tools for professionals as well as for the serious amateur, capella makes provision to cater for more unusual request by providing the user with a scripting language interface. |
Make no mistake! |
|
Notation is no different to other software applications in that a number of different programs
are vying for customers.
As far as functions and features are concerned, you will find that, on paper at least, there is very little difference between the different notation programs. Yet other programs often forget to mention that . . .. . . to work successfully, ease-of-use and ergonomics are just as important as a comprehensive range of tools. And as far as these aspects are concerned, capella's designers have merged professional functionality into an interface, that is intuitive, clear and easy-to-use. They have achieved this by paying a great deal of attention to detail and using their in-depth knowledge of users' requirements and preferences. Judging by the response from users, experts and the media, they have been very successful over the years. |
