Five easy ways to enter notes
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.
With capella you are using the Soundfont technology. This way you are not depending any more on the mediocre MIDI sounds of a sound card or on expensive sound libraries. You simply load the soundfont which you like best. Many of them are free.
Interactive SystemTemplate
The SystemTemplate is the "floor plan" for your score. Here, the most important features are determined.
All this happens in the left area - very intuitively to operate. Spacings, brackets, barlines across staves are all dragged with the mouse. Names are entered on the spot. Sounds are selected from the list - and much more. Really comfortable!
Adding graphics to the score
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.
Versatile graphic objects
All graphic objects can be scaled, stretched and compressed and can be placed in front or behind the notes. This way for example watermarks covering the entire page can be placed underneath the score.
