Microtones

The MaxScore and LiveScore Editors were designed with microtones in mind, with the capability of representing pitch with virtually unlimited precision. The editor offers notation in various staff styles, quarter-tone, eighth-tone, 12th-tone and 16th-tone and Extended Helmholtz-Ellis JI Pitch notation among them, as well as cent precision playback via MaxScore Sampler or MaxScore Fluidsynth.
