Geniesoft Overture v4.1.0.1

Overture 4 has leaped past the competition and is the only notation program with full VST hosting support for sample libraries and on direct score MIDI editing.

Features

Full VST Integration...

Open the VST Instruments rack and load any VST instrument or effect. You can easily add controller and key switches using the pre-define libraries for most of the popular sample libraries.

Intuitive Score Editing like No Others...

Overture allows you to edit your score in an intuitive manner unlike other programs so there is no need to hunt through levels of dialogs or search the manual just to make a simple change. Most commands can be done with one simple command directly on the score.

Edit MIDI Directly on the Score

Now that your VST Instruments have been loaded and your score has been entered its time to do the final tweaking to get that great sound. Switch to MIDI data mode and your MIDI data is displayed above each track ready to be edited. Easily draw in or erase existing data right before your eyes with the score underneath.

Finally create a CD...

Now that you have high quality sound scores you can save them as a wave file to be burned onto a CD or sent to a friend.

Good luck and hope to see you at the Grammy Awards with your award winning score.

Changes and Improvements in 4.1.0.1
------------------------------------

Fixed bug that prevented notes and graph position from being dragged when MIDI Data Mode was Notes Only.

Fixed bug that prevented play position vertical line from being displayed on first beat when window scrolled during playback.

Fixed problem when converting a group of notes (played out trill) to a trill (with hidden notes) and the group required a tie. The tie was being played even though it is not necessary. the ties playback should have been disabled because the main note and
hidden notes are played and the tie is unnecessary.

Fixed bug that prevented System text and Codas Segnos etc. from showing color.

Fixed lyric underscore bug that extended too far or skipped a note in some rare cases.

Fixed crash when dragging expression extension lines past one measure.

Fixed crash when inserting a note into a measure that had a beam from previous measure.

The step input chords now default to mute. Playback can be enabled using the Edit Enable Playback menu option.

Added playback of mordents and turns including a new dialog.

Added NotesBeamHide Tuplet menu item to show/hide the tuplet number on beams.

Fixed incorrect accidentals being forced to show inside the measure. To show an accidental that is automatically hidden if the previous note had the same accidental simply select the note and type sfn for the appropriate accidental to toggle it showing.
