Roles
- Musicians are instrumentalists, singers or conductors, both on an amateur or professional level.
- Composers are composers, arrangers or other people which write or edit scores, like conductors or teachers.
- Publishers want to share scores, work with a lot of files and multiple programs. For example, a webmaster of a music search engine or a teacher may be a publisher.
- Developers are programmers, which want to improve the software or create their own software based on Zong!.
...
- Share sheet music: A publisher can share his work over the internet, so that his customers or students can easily open his sheets from their own computer within Zong!.
- Export sheet music: A publisher can save his scores in many different image and audio formats. The MusicXML export allows the musician to open his scores in other music notation programs.
- Convert sheet music: A publisher can convert his scores between various formats. Batch processing is possible.
Developer
- Extend Zong!: Since the software is free and open source, any Java developer can extend Zong! or write plugins.
- Use Zong! components: A developer can integrate Zong! components in his own software, e.g. show a score viewer in his app or generate preview images of MusicXML files. Zong! provides well-documented components and example programs for making integration easy.
