Capella 1200 is a powerful music notation program which allows any musician to write, playback, and print any score easily and intuitively. Designed for all type of users, its versatile input solutions and its extensive functionality cover the needs of both amateur and professional musicians.

You can use your computer keyboard as a typewriter, and key in the notes using their traditional names (i.e. “C”), and change their values by combining them with certain keys. You can open its graphic MousePiano and enter the notes by clicking on its keys, and finally, you can click your mouse directly in the desired positions within a stave to create your notes. Its playback functionality will allow you to check your choices any time you wish.
