Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. Many keys due to the registration of buttons. Otherwise a clean install.

A company without name and address, but a phone number from Ukrainia - and an ICQ (oh those good ol' AOL times):
"MagicScore Music Software is a part of Maestro Music Software, is a company which successfully develops and implements tools for personal, office and corporate use. The company was founded in 1998. We have been creating music software since 1998."
The last activities in the forum from April 28, 2014, 02:11:54 AM.

In the software about, the names of the team.

We had had many music related software titles in the last years from this company.

Today's software is something different. A composer without a learning curve. Mozart would have loved this. Really!
"Some music software products have a short learning curve, some long… OneTouch Composer doesn’t have it at all! "

"MagicScore OneTouch Composer is the first music notation software for Windows tablets all over the World. Compose music with OneTouch Composer – the best software for Windows 8 tablets due to Intel Application Innovation Contest."

Upon start a clear structured resizable window opens, it is easy to notate - entered with the piano. If you have ever used a composer, you will love this.

Don't blame the software, if you did not write Beethovens 10th. In my opinion the easiest to use score system. Test it!

I'll keep it. Makes a good impression. No, I am not the next Mozart.

Sometimes users ask me to give my recommendation for a special software. I can only give MY recommendation for software , which I really use on a regular base on MY computers. A recommendation for a partition recovery tool?
I have not used (and needed) any in the last decade. To give a recommendation I would have to do, what most others do. Google for someone else recommendation. How can I trust? To be realistic and fair, I don't give any recommendations based on others experience and Google hits.

Installed OK on my Windows 7 x64 partition with no problems.
I used the defaults I was presented with, and pressed the test button. The demo was really good, at least I assume it was a demo of what it could do!
It was easy to simply play notes on the keyboard that is displayed at the bottom, the music notation appearing above as I played, you can move the keyboard so as to access the higher notes. I do not play the piano, but soon made a catchy little tune about 25 notes long.
My grandchildren, who are both just learning the piano, (whiz kids on the PC), will really enjoy this, and it should help them a lot in a fun way to understand.
I will keep it installed and have a proper go myself the next rainy day.
Thanks GOTD and Maestro for a nice program.

I am by profession a Musician, and to be honest it surprised me after using this how simple and efficient this program really is. What it did do is save me allot of time ! as when I want to compose I have to hook up a keyboard and as mine are without speakers I need to hook up an amp as well. So with this program all I have to do is to use my lap top for instant inspiration. With composing you have to get your ideas imediatelly into action and with this you can !!!!! Take no notice of all the negative votes as obviously they have no idea or knowledge of music, I can say that this program although simple is all you need to start composing as ideas can come quickly and unexpectedly and you need a quick responce and that is what this program gives you. Thanks to GAOTD and the Program company for making this all possible !!!!

Does not work correctly. Midi Keyboard not working, wrong font for score notation. Confusing interface. Uninstalled.

Software is unfinished:
- Borders around some windows: missing corners, no top line, ...
- Foreign languages are approximate (including English)
- Total ignorance of Unicode
- Tooltips could be more informative (the icon "F" has for tooltip "Open" which in fact opens a customized font dialog, not a file; then it is tedious to use; if programmers want to customize a font dialog, they should at least test it for usability and not break habits)
- The help file is ridiculous.

Editing music
- Could not find how to enter the quick edit mode; had to read the tutorial, but failed to go through the 2 steps in the first paragraph. So, the rest of my review will reflect that because I'm stuck on the editing (see the second screenshot taken by Karl), not being able to create.
- Cannot use the keyboard
- The notes on the left side are useless. You can even select more than one, which leads to unpredictable results
- Good luck with the mouse: could not find how to modify the length of a note without deleting it (and beware to have only one note selected on the left)
- Should remove guitar: no pull up/down, hammer, ...

Don't have time and will to test further.

To me, this is a prototype.
