Lime Music Notation Software

Lime is an exciting new music notation program for the Macintosh or Windows 95. Because it is so easy to use and yet powerful, it appeals to a wide audience including, educators, students, professional musicians and home hobbyists. Lime was developed by the CERL Sound Group at the University of Illinois, and in a unique approach to music notation, LIME breaks the barriers set by current products on the market. In other words, LIME is not simply just another music notation program, but instead meets the specific criteria the mass market demands for composing, editing, and publishing music.
