|
<p>VocalEasel is a program to edit for 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 most common song.</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>
