Noteworthy Composer  is the music notation program used to design the musical illustrations for Jam School activites and Master Theory Help & Hints. It is a shareware program which costs $39.95 for full registration. The program is ideal for experimentation, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. NWC can also be used to display and play back these files (and MIDI files) as they are downloaded from the web. Most examples have been done in version 1.55, but everything added after 8/15/00 is in version 1.70.

Here are some of Noteworthy Composer's Features:

• Very user-friendly interface
• Creates, displays, plays and edits NWC and MIDI files
• Low cost ($39.95 will register the shareware file, and you will also receive a book and disk in the mail)
• Can save files as full scores, or as MIDI
• Has its own condensed file format, ideal for publication on the Web (you're using it here!)
• Outstanding Support - NWC provides online tips from the developer, a user's forum whose archives are well-indexed, and there is also a Usenet newsgroup devoted to NWC and its users.

Noteworthy Player is a freeware program availble from the makers of Noteworthy Composer. It can read and playback any files that were made from a registered copy of Noteworthy Composer. I recommend downloading each new version as it comes out. It will also play back and generate notation from a Type 1 MIDI file. Features include:

• Plays back registered NWC files
• Plays back MIDI files and extrapolates a visual score
• Freeware -- no cost to you
