<center><h1>About VocalEasel</h1></center>

<p>VocalEasel is a program to edit vocal jazz lead sheets and generate and
play accompaniments. It is designed to be:</p>

<ul type="circle">
  <li>Free to use and redistribute to others.</li>
  <li>Easy to use.</li>
  <li>Powerful enough to produce adequate results for typical lead sheets.</li>
  <li>Open, i.e.
  <ul type="disc">
    <li>You can obtain and change the source code to adapt
    VocalEasel to your needs (or hire somebody to do so).</li>
    <li>VocalEasel tries to produce standard formats like MIDI, PDF, and 
    MusicXML whenever possible, to give you the freedom to interchange files
    with other software.</li>
  </ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>VocalEasel was written and designed by Matthias Neeracher

<p>For producing printable lead sheets, VocalEasel relies on the
<a href="http://www.lilypond.org">LilyPond</a> system written by
Han-Wen Nienhuys&nbsp&lt;<a href="mailto:hanwen@xs4all.nl">hanwen@xs4all.nl</a>&gt;, Jan Nieuwenhuizen&nbsp;&lt;<a href="mailto:janneke@gnu.org">janneke@gnu.org</a>&gt;, 
and others.</p>

<p>For producing MIDI accompaniments, VocalEasel relies on the 
<a href="http://www.mellowood.ca/mma">MMA</a> Musical Midi Accompaniment system
written by Robert van der Poel&nbsp;&lt;<a href="mailto:bob@mellowood.ca">bob@mellowood.ca</a>&gt;.</p>

<p>The Band-in-a-Box import code is based on reverse engineering work by Alf Warnock&nbsp;&lt;<a href="http://www.alfwarnock.info/alfs">http://www.alfwarnock.info/alfs</a>&gt; and Alain Brenzikofer&nbsp;&lt;<a href="mailto:biabconverter@brenzi.ch">biabconverter@brenzi.ch</a>&gt;</p>
