Hello,

I'm happy to announce that the Beta version of Nihavent, a music notation
app for Turkish maqam music and microtonal music, is now available for
download.

Unlike most other notation software, Nihavent lets you tune each staff level
to any arbitrary frequency, adjust how the 10 built-in accidentals modify
the pitch and hear the score played with the correct pitches. This makes it
possible to work with virtually any scale imaginable. While admittedly the
app is missing certain important features at this point, I hope it will
nonetheless be useful as a kind of playground to those working with
microtonal music.

You can download Nihavent for Windows and Mac OS X at:

All questions and comments are welcome.
