Fermata is an easy to use Macintosh notation software package that's powerful enough to satisfy today's demanding musician. Its intuitive interface uses tear off palettes to keep all of Fermata's professional features a mere keystroke or mouse click away.

Fermata helps you meet deadlines with features like Step Entry, which lets you quickly enter or delete notes, rests, rhythmic slashes and chord symbols via MIDI or the computer keyboard. Functions in Fermata are active without switching modes, so you spend your time creating music, not searching menus. From complete orchestrations to single measure examples, nothing helps you score faster than Fermata.

Guitar Palette
Fermata includes complete tools for guitar notation. Symbols can be attached to notes or placed anywhere on your score. Guitar bends attach to notes. When notes move, the bends will move along with it.

And the features are seemingly endless including among others individual finger articulation, hammer on and pull off control, barre chords applied to selected number of strings, and a rotatable and stretchable "bend" articulation with 25 easy adjustable quarter tone steps (+3 to -3 whole tones).
