PROTÉGÉ is the ideal product for beginners who want to develop their compositional skills.

It offers an intuitive and interactive environment where music can be seen, heard, and changed with immediate, realistic feedback. Like NOTION, it features the full orchestral sounds of the London Symphony Orchestra. Budding composers can write for up to eight instruments in a single score and then “conduct” the performance using the NTempo real-time tempo control.

EASE OF USE
The learning curve for PROTEGE is no more than 15 minutes and features intuitive keyboard shortcuts like “Q” for quarter notes and “H” for half notes. The toolbar is clean and un-cluttered making it easy to find what you need when you need it. Quickly and easily enter your score while utilizing the incredible playback to help determine your next compositional choices.
