Why use Nightingale?
1) As a professional
score/parts preparer, I believe Nightingale
is one of the handful of notation programs with publisher
quality output; indeed, I have seen parts from our program
in front of ensembles as prestigious as the Philadelphia
Orchestra and the Kronos Quartet.
2) Although Nightingale
is a full featured program with the potential for solving
complex notational problems, it is relatively simple to
learn and use. (A boon for teachers looking to equip classes
of all ages.)
3) Nightingale
can be used in conjunction with our freeware
NightLight
to provide a low cost solution for composition and theory classes;
NightLight possesses most of the professional features found in
Nightingale.
4) Finally, we believe
Nightingale
makes a more coherent use of the Mac's user interface than
any of our competitors.

The Nightingale®
Choice
|
Since receiving
an Electronic Musician 1997 Editors' Choice Award and 4
stars from Macworld, work on Nightingale
had progressed at a slower
pace than we would all have liked, although development
never stopped. Now, however, we are adding features at a fast
rate. We released two new versions in the summer of 2000: 1)
Nightingale version 4.0, and 2) the freeware NightLight,
which included virtually all the features of its larger
sibling (but with a limit of 4 page scores and 9 stave systems).
Updates came in September, 2001, as
Nightingale
version 4.5 was released,
with NightLight 2002 joining it at the end of 2002. In April, 2004, Nightingale X, v.5.1 became
the first version of Nightingale to run natively in OS X. Now, v.5.2 is available.
Some Nightingale Features
Almost any object in a score
can be easily dragged with the mouse. Its slurs are elegant.
Pinpoint control of most objects is available through a
powerful 'Get Info' interface. A unique "threader" tool,
plus shift- and option-clicking, allows exceptionally flexible
selection, and the QuickChange feature allows for instant
changes of single parameters affecting a multitude of objects.
Notes are entered though MIDI or keyboard and mouse, as well as other file formats.
