An Interface Designed for Performance

• These are the views and the layout used most often during a live performance.
• It's always easy to see what's coming up: songs, cues, tempos, instrument changes
• The current position indicator remains in the center of the display.
• Tracks may be color-coded.
• Most views may be zoomed both horizontally and vertically.
• You may choose to open and work with individual files, or "sets" of songs as used for a performance.

Metronome Display

• The current beat number is always prominently displayed. The current measure number is also emphasized.
• A "bouncing ball" metronome may be used to assist you with conducting in slow or tempo-dynamic passages.
• A "tempo ratio" control allows you to make real-time adjustments to the tempo during performance; use your keyboard's pitch wheel to control it.
• Quick-transpose buttons
• All commands critical during a performance may be mapped to your MIDI keyboard and/or PC keyboard

Cues

• Cues are color-coded for quick recognition.
• This example shows a Vamp (repeat until cued), a "Cola Voce" section (the conductor follows the singer beat-by-beat), and a Caesura (stop until cued).
• The fermata cue pauses all sounding notes until cued.
• The skip cue allows you to skip music without permanently deleting it.
• Jump to cues anywhere in the song without missing a beat.
• Cues provide for non-linear sequencing, which makes for a more dynamic and musical performance.

Karaoke

• MIDI Maestro may also be used as a virtual "Karaoke machine" complete with bouncing ball or highlighted text.
• Support for external-monitor, full-screen mode with background graphics and pagination for professional "PowerPoint-like" presentations, perfect for worship services or educational use.
• The Lead-Sheet view combines staff notation with karaoke to emulate a "fake book" 

Recording and Arrangement

• Uses a standard click, drag & drop interface
• The staff view organizes music into standard notation.
• Printing to all standard staff sizes is supported.
