Easy installation, no inconsistency noted. The online doc is very thorough (I downloaded) and convenient to use with links to html. Even the French translation is nickel, not everything is translated in English but I found everything I was looking for, and more is not devoid of informative and educational.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
On a PC brand MEDION PIV 3MHz and 512MB of RAM which has already 5 years. Sound card series to test the midi files generated by the software, and it allows me to preview and detect data entry errors. The execution times are quite acceptable: approx 30s to generate a pdf file + midi + file system partition on 10 pages.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 months, it asked me for a bit of work to read a minimum of documentation and do some tests, say 2 or 3 days, then it progresses to appreciate the difficulty. You just follow the syntax exactly, and here I acknowledge that my VBA programming experience put me at ease quickly. I never tried another program, or considering to buy one considering the price, but then for this freeware no hesitate a second.
The print quality is very clean, precise. The use may apply to a wide variety of music styles, from classical, jazz and why not the song with chord notation, or tablature for guitar.
Of course you have to type all the mimine but at least we know what we do, this is not an automatic thing where you do not understand what's happening inside. It is a product that has tremendous potential.
