Introduction > Getting Started > About the Trial Version of Notation Composer

The trial version of Notation Composer is functional for 30 days from the installation date.

The trial version offers all features of Composer available in the full version, except:

•the trial version of the Band in a Box plugin is functional for 60 days from the installation date.

•playback is limited to 1 minute. For Playlists, after 1 minute of playing time the next song will start. After 10 start/stops, Composer will need to be restarted.

•a "Trial" watermark will be in the score

•no ASIO interface is allowed due to contract restrictions.

To determine what version you are using of Notation Composer, choose Help / About. A window will display the Notation Composer graphics logo and the version number of Composer. This window also displays "Trial Version" if you are using the trial version rather than the full purchased version of Composer.

With the trial version of Composer you can edit the score and play it back, work with the practice features, and see how it can help you with your music.

If you have enjoyed using the trial version of Composer, we hope you will consider purchasing the full version of the software, which removes the 30-day trial period and other limitations.
