MUSIC TYPESETTING AND ARRANGING
SAMPLES OF PRINTED MUSIC AND AUDIO PLAYBACK

Please find below links to sample files, which, for files produced in either Finale or Sibelius software, after you click on the appropriate links, will open as videos which show the printed music with a scroll line showing where the playback is occurring, giving you both an impression of the printed music as well as how it sounds. These can be used to help performers for their rehearsals and performances. It should be emphasised, however, that where lyrics are included in this music, this playback is limited to simulation aahs or oohs, as the software, for the foreseeable future, cannot handle full lyric playback of lyrics. (No music notation software has that facility yet.)
