Musink is a free music-composition software package that lets you write music at unprecedented speeds.

With Musink, you can create anything from orchestral scores, to short-musical-snippets, to exercise books. Musink is particularly useful if you are a publisher, drummer, or writing music for many voices.

Musink is optimised for speed and ease of use. Notes are added by simply putting the mouse where you would like a note, and clicking. Musink automatically takes care of music rules and layout for you. Everything possible is automated, including note duration, page margins, title positioning, bracket-numbering, stem directions, and mark-arrangement. You can even change the entire look of a score in seconds, simply by choosing a different template (page layout). These features are designed to let you focus on what you came to do: write music.

Musink can play back your music to you through any GM-compatible MIDI device. It can also export your work as MIDI and lets you export MIDI loops.

Musink can publish your score to as a PDF or XPS documents, or as a series of PNG image files. Your score can then be directly dropped into Microsoft Word documents or put onto the web without requiring plugins.
