1.  From the Windows Start Menu, click on Settings, then Control Panel.
2.  In the Control Panel, double click on Add/Remove Programs.

      Edition. 

________________________________________________________________________

Music Write 2000 was originally developed for Windows 95/98. Therefore, 
it will not work with later Windows Operating Systems as Windows 2000 or 
Windows XP. While the program runs without issue in Windows NT 4.0, the Help
file is not accessible from directly within the program.  To access the Music
Write 2000 Professional Help file from within Windows NT, click on Start > 
Programs > Music Write 2000 Professional > Music Write Professional Help.
The Help file will launch normally.

UPDATES TO THE PRINTED DOCUMENTATION

The following functions have been updated or changed since the Music Write
2000 manual was printed:
1. To open the fonts dialog box, select Display->Page, and NOT Display->Score.
2. For pitch shifting, Shift+Pitch should be selected - NOT Shift alone.
3. The manual describes the Play and Stop buttons as black. In fact, they are
   green and blue, respectively.
4. The manual's discussion of file compatibility with Copyist(TM) is
   incorrect. Copyist version 5 files from Sion Software are not supported 
   by Music Write 2000 Pro Edition. They are supported however in subsequent 
   versions as in the MW 2000 Standard Edition. 
5. Throughout the manual, the Maximize button is referred to as a
   down-pointing triangle. This was a reference to the Windows 3.1 version.
6. The manual states that the program creates a desktop icon. This is
   incorrect.
7. Many of the screen graphics displayed in the manual are taken from a
   previous version of Music Write 2000. Users should not be concerned if the 
   program they are using appears different from these screen shots.
8. The manual states incorrectly that Ctrl Z is the keyboard shortcut for
   Zoom. Ctrl Z is actually the shortcut for Undo.
9. To view Indentation, you need to be in Print mode.
10. The manual states that 16 tracks is Music Write's maximum. The actual
    limit is 47 tracks.
11. The Hide Notes/Show Notes button on the Controller Editor is not labeled
    as such, in contrast to what the manual says. There is a tooltip caption
    for the button that does describe the function.
