Musink is a free music-composition software package that lets you write music at unprecedented speeds.

With Musink, you can create anything from orchestral scores, to short-musical-snippets, to exercise books. Musink is particularly useful if you are a publisher, drummer, or writing music for many voices.

This free music notation software is optimised for speed and ease of use. Notes are added by simply putting the mouse where you would like a note, and clicking. Unlike other notation editors, Musink automatically calculates note durations, which saves you hours of time, and makes creating complex rhythms child's play.

Musink automatically takes care of music rules and layout for you. Everything possible is automated, including page margins, title positioning, bracket-numbering, stem directions, and mark-arrangement. You can even change the entire look of a score in seconds, simply by choosing a different template (page layout). These features are designed to let you focus on what you came to do: write music.

Musink can play back your music to you through any GM-compatible MIDI device. This MIDI playback can even be routed through VST instruments by use of a free virtual midi cable. It can also export your work as MIDI and lets you export MIDI loops.

Musink can publish your score to as a PDF or XPS documents, or as a series of PNG image files. Your score can then be directly dropped into Microsoft Word documents or put onto the web without requiring plugins.

This free notation editor comes with step-by-step help documentation and tutorials that help you get get writing quickly.
