• Sound files:
  
  Digital recordings come in a number of file formats: .wav, .aiff, .mp3. These files are massive and can quickly fill up your web space. Other types of sound files occupy less space than actual recordings. Websentia doesn't create digital recordings but we can post your the files you have. Please be observant of copyrights on music and recordings.
  
  Midi files: General midi is a uniform scheme of computer files that are read by the synthesizer built into any computer's sound card. The user's computer interprets the midi file's data and generates music using that computer's card. Each computer sounds a little different but this is a great way to convey how your music sounds using small files that are quick to download and don't take up a lot of space on your server.
  
  ABC files: ABC format is a very efficient way to offer audio music as well as sheet music. The user must have software to read ABC format. This software is relatively inexpensive: ABCMus, ABC2Win, Melody Assistant are three programs that read ABC files. ABC files can only be read on Windows systems but ABC is commonly used and very inexpensive. Websentia can translate your music into ABC format to allow it for your web users to download.
  
  Scorchmusic: Users who have downloaded the free Scorchmusic browser plug-in can view scores on line, listen to the music in higher resolution than Midi or ABC formats, and still have relatively small file sizes to deal with. For more information on Scorchmusic, go to www.sibeliusmusic.com. Creating music in this format requires the music publishing software "Sibelius" (www.sibelius.com). This software is powerful for both audio files and printed music. Websentia can create music in this format from printed or handwritten material, Midi files, or ABC files. For more information on this technology, please contact us at info@websentia.us or visit the Sibelius web site at www.sibelius.com.
  
  
• Written Music:
  
  Music can be put into a visual format for use on the web and in print. Traditional notation for classical music, folk, rock, country, bluegrass, early music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque), tablature for a variety of instruments and tunings, even 20th or 21st Century Avante Garde is possible. Graphics programs and music publishing programs can create a publishable product in a variety of file formats.
  
  Music can be posted on the web as scores for ensembles, solo parts, short excerpts, excercises, lessons, you name it. Music examples on the web can be seen, heard, printed, widely distributed, downloaded and saved for future use. On the web, your music can serve many purposes and enhance your services as musician, teacher, composer/arranger, even publisher.
