Forte Premium is an intelligent music notation software designed to simplify the process of writing and reading musical notation. This is the full version of Forte, carrying all available features that are ideal for experienced musicians that require as many tools as possible.

Forte's "forte" is its well-designed intuitive user interface that lets you spend time on actual music instead of having to learn the software itself. It is meant to be an affordable alternative to the complex and expensive music notation programs that are currently available.

According to the developers, Forte is the first music software to strike the perfect balance between infinite creativity and deceptively simple recording tools. It will let you conveniently compose original scores or edit existing MIDI files, doing all the hard work for you as it captures your creations and changes as fast as you make them. And while working, it lets you watch your music-making in real-time notation on a dynamic score.

The new FORTE 5 version features the following: - New, easier to use interface with improved menu structure and navigation paths - FORTE Player with orchestral sound library, delivering an enhanced sound quality in an entirely new dimension - Simplified customized layout options for editing - Extended XML plug-in featuring the popular MXL format - Video exporter, allowing musicians to record their music directly in FORTE, upload their videos on video platforms, and share with others
