MusicEase Software has been involved in the development of music notation software for over 35 years. Special attention has been paid to creating a good user interface. In particular, constraints have been used so users generally need have no knowledge of or pay attention to the positioning of notational elements. Other techniques from artificial intelligence have also been incorporated to make our software more powerful. The standard version of MusicEase is now completely free.
The MusicEase notation editor contains a large amount of knowledge about music notation. This allows you to quickly create professional looking scores without knowing music copyist rules. For instance, stem direction, beam scope, slant and end positions, and slur shape and location are all automatically determined. (The user can then edit these if desired.) Slurs can be inserted with a single keystroke combination.
MusicEase Professional contains support for creating new hymns and choral works that can be imported into the Christian Virtual Hymnal 20K and quickly rendered in any of the many different ways provided by that program.
MusicEase is now completely free and is available from our Download page. It is licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International).

Here is a video showing how to create a 4-part SATB hymn using MusicEase Professional. Things work the same in the standard version of MusicEase.
This works the same for other genres of music. There is no limit on the number of staves in a system, or the number of notes on a single stem. Check out our Gallery.
In this video we show how to add verse lyrics to the hymn. Again it works the same in both MusicEase Professional and the standard version of MusicEase.
