Both those who start learning to play the guitar or the piano, and already experienced musicians may find it boring to have to look for scores around, while composers may want to save time writing notes. For both, there is a wonderful program that allows you to listen to music and automatically see the notes on a score .
Basically, you open a song to listen to it, which can be famous or even recorded on the computer, and, automatically, you will see all the notes played by the various instruments and while listening, the musical notes played will be highlighted.
This program is a free Notation Player, designed especially for those who study music and are able to read notes.
You can then play any music and see the front notes in the automatically generated score.
For some more famous songs you can also read the lyrics, to get the complete score.
Notation Player, however, does not work with MP3 or CD files, but with the Midi files of the backing tracks or the Kar files of the Karaoke.
The good thing is that an internet search is enough to find the Midi file of almost every famous song, to be able to listen to it with Notation Player and to be able to read the notes in real time during playback.
Any score generated with musical notes can be saved as a .not file to be reopened whenever you want, without the need for the midi.
Those who want more, for example the possibility to print the notes on a sheet or modify the notes on the score, can buy the enhanced version of the program called Notation Musician or, with even more functions, Notation Composer .
In other articles on the same topic I had also recommended the use of other programs for:
- Compose music on your pc, write notes to print and download scores
- Write the notes of a song on the computer and hear it as it is composed
