When you start one of the FORTE products, the Score Wizard helps you creating your first blank staff paper or manuscript. Click "next" to see a huge list of instruments to add to your personal score. FORTE has two basic editing modes: selection mode and insert mode, which enable you either to edit or to create musical elements.
One of FORTE'S most beautiful tools (and maybe the one we are most proud of) is the Input Palette . This handy feature offers all necessary musical elements like notes, rests, dynamic markings and articulation in one place - so you won't be searching for the symbols you need for hours.
When starting to fill your blank staff paper with notes, our Music Ruler will be one of your greatest friends. FORTE is a true beat machine: The Music Ruler will always help you to find the exact position inside a measure. This feature fills in the rests on its own to make your measure complete. So you don't have to worry about it and you can devote yourself completely to your musical creativity.
