VirtMus Description

Display multi-page sheet music and flip pages without removing the hands from the instrument VirtMus (virtual music) is a free application that allows the user to display sheet music and turn pages without removing the hands (or feet) from the instrument the music is performed on. This feature is very useful during concerts and practice sessions as it allows the musician to focus on performing the music without interruption. The software also allows the users to store and organize their entire sheet music collection on a laptop, making it fully portable and available at a click of a button. See the ScreenShots if you want to see how it looks, or have a look at the DesignPrinciples to see some of the distinguishing features.This software allows the user to create "songs" out of sheet music images obtained from a digital camera, a scanner, or pdf, and "PlayLists" out of the "songs".During a performance, the user can simply press a mouse button to move to the next / previous page or press various keyboard keys to advance the music.USB foot switches are available which emulate mouse button presses thus freeing the hands to play the instrument. Even without a FootSwitch, using a laptop display avoids the problem of books that don't stay open, or loose leaf pages that fly off the music stand when the wind (or HVAC unit) blows. What's New in This Release: · A MS-Windows installer that can be used instead of the zip distribution · Improved start-up for large collections · Improved rendering of page transitions in the live window (in come cases the improvement is quite dramatic) · Songs can now be copied or moved between playlists · Songs can be re-ordered a number of different ways · Modified Songs or PlayLists are shown in italicized font · Property sheets have been added for Songs and PlayLists · PlayLists, Songs and MusicPages can now be renamed in place · Added clipboard support and Edit menu entries · Added memory usage graph in the tool bar · A new script was contributed by one of the users to convert from PDF directly to a song.
