INTRODUCTION FOR MUSICIANS
FrankenScore is designed to handle complex scores with the flexibility and precision that professional musicians, composers and publishers require.
Out of the box, FrankenScore handles music from the Early and Classical to the late-Romantic, Modernist and Post-Modernist contemporary eras. It's designed to easily handle full symphonic or operatic scores – Gurrelieder, Wozzeck, Ligeti's Requiem, or microtonal works by Harry Partch and Brian Ferneyhough. This is part of the open-source core application. That's where we set the bar: handling the whole Western art music repertoire brilliantly and at no cost.
Beyond this, specialised features and capabilities can be added to FrankenScore through plugins. Examples of such plugins are guitar tablature, drum set and jazz notation. Igor Engraver featured very powerful and naturalistic MIDI playback, which in FrankenScore is implemented through a plugin. The plugin architecture means that new features can be added to suit specific needs, allowing for integration with other music software or custom notation elements.
FrankenScore keeps scores and parts in the same file. Change a note in the score or in a part, and every place where that note appears is updated automatically. Your score, parts, piano reductions and sectional scores are up-to-date at all times. You never need to extract any parts into separate files.
Igor Engraver was known for its intuitive and fast input method. FrankenScore aims to provide a similarly musician-friendly interface, making the process of inputting and editing music as natural as possible.
FrankenScore uses SMuFL fonts, such as Bravura and Petaluma, in order to take full advantage of the extensive set of music symbols and ligatures available.
You have full control over formatting. All graphical elements - noteheads, dynamics, hairpins. articulation, slurs, lyrics, braces, brackets, everything - are intelligently placed but can be adjusted freely. You can switch music fonts, adjust line thicknesses and default distances - every aspect of notation can be configured and is at your fingertips.
The core FrankenScore application also implements high-quality printing and PDF generation. Apart from its built-in dedicated file format, a free plugin will provide MusicXML output and input so you can import and export files from and to other music notation software,
FrankenScore is designed to handle large, complex scores with ease. Whether you're working on a simple lead sheet or a full orchestral score, the software can keep up with your creativity.
