"Nightingale is lightning fast...easy to use, feature laden, and moderately priced, it can go round for round with any music-notation
product on the market." --Macworld
"...I would lay
stress on the excellent user-interface and the ease of learning
of Nightingale.."

Check out the Downloads
(updated in November, 2006 for Nightingale X and in December 2002 for the classic version 4.5.2)
now offered. Nightingale X has all the features of Version 4.5, but runs natively in OS X. This means improvements
to Midi functionality and a smoother experience in general. Version 4.5.2 fixed a few minor bugs, but more
importantly, our freeware NightLight's file format became (as of 2003) compatible with that of the full classic application.
In addition,
an OS X classic compatible version 4.5 is on the site.
Our Documentation page has current information on Nightingale as well.
There are also a few suggestions on the support page.

The September, 2001 issue of
Electronic Musician Magazine has some very nice things to say about
Nightingale® Desktop
Music Publishing Software for the Macintosh. For example,
Nightingale is "chock-full of features but isn't gimmicky. Gracious and useful,
Nightingale is deep yet easy to learn."
Reviewer Thomas Wells added that
"The program's micro- and macro-editing capabilities are among the best that I
have seen in any notation software. The supply of templates is ample, and the
documentation is superb. PostScript print quality is excellent. The user
interface is simple, elegant, and highly configurable, and the program runs
efficiently on Power Macs and 680X0 Macs." (We're enjoying this so much
that we'll keep going.) "The QuickChange command is one of the most useful, flexible,
and innovative tools I've encountered in a music notation program. It's
indicative of Nightingale's creative
design and understanding of notation ergonomics."
OK, but now fast is Nightingale?
"On the G3, speed of part extraction was so fast, I doubted the program had
done its job until I checked the part files."
Wells concluded that Nightingale
"is one of the biggest bargains in music-notation software."
Nightingale is, like any program, not
perfect for everyone, so we strongly suggest reading
this informative review to see if
Nightingale is the notation software for you.

printouts made directly to a PostScript printer from Nightingale are a bit better.)
