Transposer & Music Notation Features

Leadsheet Transposer feature transposes text-only leadsheets.

There are 3 levels of music notation available with Service Designer:

1. Print transposable sheet music for hundreds of hymns

This function allows you to print the music from Service Designer. The two included methods (Finale NotePad and the Sibelius Scorch browser plug-in) allow you to play it back (scrolling playback), transpose it to any key, and print it. This does not require an internet connection. It does not require that you own Finale or Sibelius either.

2. Create your own instant arrangements using Finale® or Sibelius®

Service Designer comes with hundreds of hymn notation files in both Finale and Sibelius formats. You may import these files into Finale or Sibelius, and further rearrange them, such as creating an instant arrangement for your church orchestra, adding lyrics, etc. You must own either the Finale (2002 or higher) or Sibelius notation software in order to do this.

3. Access hundreds of worship song notation file previews on the web.

Service Designer has built-in links to music for hundreds of worship songs from the WorshipTogether.com website. Simply select one of the EMI Christian/WorshipTogether songs in Service Designer, click the link, and go to the page on the WorshipTogether site where you can play back the notation file in your browser, transpose, etc. Or you may elect to purchase the sheet music and related products online from WorshipTogether.com.
