Distribute lyrics and music together in a single, small file.
|
|
Musette simplifies creation and distribution of public
domain songs as lyrics and music are included together in files that download
in seconds. Special features help create, edit, play and print scores and
songs, even if you're not familiar with music notation. If you can tap your
foot and count, Musette will help you get the music right. You can load the
music from a MIDI file, then paste the lyrics from the Windows clipboard.
Musette automatically aligns the words with the music. You can change the pitch
and tempo, and Musette highlights each word as it plays so it's easy to sing
along.

If you're upgrading from V2.7 or earlier
version of the Consort Edition, you'll have to re-enter your authorization code
as this version uses a new, automated on-line registration process.
You also get a free
ttf music font which may be used with other software. This copyrighted
software is free, but may NOT be sold or included with anything
for sale without written permission. Details are included with the program.
Musette requires a Pentium processor and Windows® 95 or higher. Check the
Message board for the
latest information on this version.
Running MusSetup.exe installs to the
folder of your choice, copies the required music font to your font folder for
use with other software, creates a shortcut, and provides an uninstall option.
If you prefer more control ...
- Download MusUnzip.exe
- Double-click on MusUnzip.exe
- Choose a folder and click "Unzip"
- If you're upgrading, just unzip over your old version
- No need to run a special installation program or reboot
- Musette doesn't add, change, or require any other files
- Double-click on musette.exe
- Check out the "Demo" section of the help file.
- If you really want it gone, just delete the files
V2.9 uses a different font file which is included. If you
install manually with MusUnzip.exe and want the new music font available for
use with other programs, you should install the font in Window's font folder.
For more details, readme.txt and musette.hlp are included in
MusUnzip.exe and MusSetup.exe. MusUnzip.exe is a self-extracting archive
created with WinZip. You don't
need WinZip but you may use it to examine or extract individual files.
