Hello,

Here are some news from Myriad (it has been a while):

- The new friendly music contest has started, with an exciting topic: "Put together or oppose in a same piece two different music styles". Please don't be shy, send us your work ;-)
Click here

- Congratulations to Nicolas Demetri, who won the previous version of the contest. Congrats also to Kevin Dickinson (2nd), Jack Smith (3rd) and all the other competitors.
Click here

- We are presently working hard on the next version of Harmony Assistant. A major new feature will be the "user spaces". Each user of Harmony will be granted a Web space to display their music pieces on the Internet.
All will be managed very easily (no IT skill needed) from the next version of Harmony Assistant.
The dedicated website is already up and running, and you can view it here.

The new version of Harmony Assistant, that include the user space management functions, is currently in beta-test. If you wish to test it in exclusive preview, you can download and install the beta-version of Harmony Assistant.
This beta installs in a separate folder from the current version, so you'll still be able to use the latter if something wrong prevents you to run the beta-version properly. Please in such case, provide feedback so that we could fix the problem.

Links to beta-versions are available in this forum thread.

Thanks for your constant support!

Hi,

We are glad to announce the very first release of our new program, PDFtoMusic.

Did you ever suffer for not being able to simply hear a PDF score you downloaded on the Internet?
Did you, at least once, give up from using the score file sent by a friend, because his music program wasn't compatible with yours?
If you changed your score editor in the past, did you ever lose some music pieces you entered in the old one, because there was no easy way to convert them into a format that could be read by the new program?

PDFtoMusic is tailored for you! Open a PDF document, and after a few seconds, you'll just have to click an icon to hear the score playing, and even the lyrics be sung!

PDFtoMusic gives you full access at last to the huge PDF music score collection available on the Internet.

If you wish to go further, with Melody Assistant or Harmony Assistant, you'll be able to alter the score, remove parts, transpose them, or completely rearrange the whole piece.

For the most demanding users, the "Pro" version of PDFtoMusic also enables to export the result in MusicXML format, which is managed by most of the professional score editors, as well as tune up finely the calculation settings.
Considering that creating a PDF file from any program (even old or discontinued products) is a breeze, PDFtoMusic Pro then becomes the ideal bridge between your miscellaneous score editors.

So don't hesitate longer, download PDFtoMusic or PDFtoMusic Pro, and give it a try. You'll be amazed of how it will broaden your musical outlook.

We are especially glad to announce you the new major versions of our music programs, and this for three main reasons :

First, these versions include half an hundred new features, improvements and fixes. Update download is free of charge from our Website.
A great part of the new features comes from users' suggestions made in the Democratic Workshop, and we thanks them here.
We also wish to thank the active Beta-test team who worked hard with us on this version.

Then, all our programs (9 titles) run from this date on Mac OS X.

At last, we celebrate this week our 14 years of activity. It is a real satisfaction for us, because our longevity validates the choices we made more than one decade ago : designing popular software. Improvements come partly from the people through the democratic workshop and our technical support, the products are easily affordable by everybody, and they became popular because their easiness and completeness.
Seing the thousands of people using them daily, we can now affirm there is still space in the software industry for micro-structures like ours, that evolves outside the usual distribution and promotion systems..

Best Regards,
The 15th of April 2002,
The Authors.
