Denzo Music Editor: The first free notation software
Denzo Music Editor (DME) was born as the first attempt to distribute a free
notation software. I didn't spend much time to make it beautiful.
DME was thought to import MIDI or MUS files and create a map between music and
tablature creating a good (not very good) graphic image to use to create some
music courseware.
DME allows user to copy image, play music by MIDI, copy Tab as ASCII tab in the
clipboard, altering tuning to discover best tuning to play songs, adding chord
shape to staff and tab, see tab while playing songs.
Software description
DME
is a sort of notation software for .MUS (my own music format) files. MUS format
is a text only music format that everyone can read or write (for a complete
description of this format go to this page).
You can load a MUS file or just use MUS file in clipboard (if you produce it
with DGS).
DME write staff and tablature
deducted by MUS file using a particular algorithm of fretboard mappig, simpler
than DGS one, but smarter than anyone else I've never seen.
It's also possible to import a MIDI track, a MUT file (MUS extension within
tablature information) or directly an ASCII tab. As you can see you have a lot
of source (when you import a tab, fretboard info could be lost, if you have to
work on tab use DTV).
If you want to edit a MUS file you can use a simple text editor. With DME you
can play it seeing staff, play original MIDI, play from a custom start point. 
Then
you have some tools to elaborate globally your MUS file.
You can quantize and transpose customly, alter tab tuning and automatically all
updates are done. With the combo on the right upper corner you can modify the
number of measure shown.
With a mouse right click you can
access menu to play from current measure (the first actually shown) or copy
shown measure as MUS, MUT, ASCII tab or BMP to paste somewhere (I use for my
coursewares).
This application is very useful to analyze MIDI tracks and to export in a
graphic format music staff and music tablature.
