Getting Started with CrescendoThis video covers all of the basics you need to navigate Crescendo, find the tools that you need and start composing music. From beginners to professionals, the symbols, time and key signatures and layout possibilites will give you the control you need for your arrangement. Write, save and print your score from your computer. You must have a background in music to make the most of Crescendo.Crescendo Music Notation Software makes music notation and composition easy. It isn’t an application to “teach” music, it is an application to “write” music. However, if you don’t know how to write music, Crescendo may be overwhelming. Because I’m very familiar with music theory, musical scores, music notation and how to compose, using Crescendo was very easy to get started. There were a couple of problems I encountered but they were easy to figure out workarounds.

I found that this version of Crescendo was easy to install - I donwloaded the file and the application installed quickly and easily. I’m hopeful that when I get the full version, I will be able to use the application to it’s fullest capabilities. While the application isn’t able to do some of the musical notation I want, overall Crescendo is good and helps me stay organized. I’ve been working with Crescendo Music Notation Editor for the past two weeks and have found it useful overall. I’m a working composer who is just getting into writing music on a mac - new software and older hardware (older but still useable).
