Pros

  • Top-notch customer support
  • Supports six languages
  • Achieve new levels of creativity with this flexible music software
  • Make music with different instruments

Cons

  • Steep learning curve but composes music professionally

Even when you don't understand the first thing about music, Encore composes professional music to make you look like a modern Mozart. Still, the learning curve takes a while to overcome. You can choose to play either directly into Encore or transcribe MIDI files. The accurate notation and beautiful printouts come out perfect every time, and you can extract specific parts and transpose with different instruments.

When it comes to the graphics end of Encore, you have dynamic marks, multiple endings, repeats, pedal marks and it works with almost all MIDI controllers. Fine-tune your musical creation with the click of a mouse and enter the notes and graphics as needed. What impresses many users boils down to how you can transcribe music into a guitar tablature with the proper fingering and fret diagrams. The problem arises when you try to make sense of it.

Professional musicians will delight in the many flexible features, but be warned, Encore does take some time to learn the ropes. Also, competing products have more advanced features that professional musicians need like time display and a mixer. The ability to look at notes in real-time as you enter the music in the MIDI controller continues as a solid reason to check out this product. You have 64 staves for each system, and the average composer will have enough room to notate each of the instruments. Still, you have a high-caliber program that tracks the time as the score plays, and it shows where the notes have been selected in the score.

Encore includes a unique feature that displays the keyboard windows to enter the notes. You can experience some minor difficulties when you use step-time on a MIDI keyboard. Nevertheless, the real-time entry from your MIDI keyboard will be straightforward. Like with most notation software, you have to set the notation correctly for it to work. The editing tools of Encore will delete, replace or copy notes as you need. Meanwhile, the control editor and mixer help you to listen and create songs.

In terms of technical support, Encore includes a valuable knowledge base. You can also call customer support as needed through the phone or an online form. Because Encore gives musicians the tools needed to notate music, you have everything available at your fingertips. When you're serious about composition and musical notation, you have a program that imports WAV files and a mixer.

Encore for Windows will support English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and German. With the click of a mouse, you can achieve new levels of creativity and propel your music career forward. Because of the on-screen palettes, you can enter a dozen marks or symbols into the screen. You can also add the lyrics to your song as you see fit.
