"Music Write Plus" is a ten year old product that will not function in new
Technologies. Since you can no longer use it in new Systems that implement 
new Technologies, we offer you the option to Upgrade to MW Songwriter at 
Half Price. The list price of MW Songwriter is at $39.95 as a Download. 
You may purchase the Upgrade to the Downloadable version for only $19.95.

This Upgrade is available on our Web Site and it is the very first one:

    Upgrade from MusicWrite Plus to Songwriter (Download only)

Please note that "MW Songwriter" is NOT at all similar to the old "MW Plus".
It is more Advanced than MW Plus with a lot more Features. The more Features
a program offers, the more the complexity factor increases and there is a 
learning curve with all new Software. Since Sales of Software are final, 
please make sure that you first Download the free Demo, to make sure that 
it meets all your expectations, including the *learning* factor and verify 
that you feel comfortable.

Since MW Plus can no longer be installed in new Systems, you do NOT need to
have it installed so that the new version works. All you need to do is use 
your unique and valid Product ID of MW Plus BEFORE you submit your on-line
Order from the above Upgrades Link in order to receive your discount.

Q:  Since I can no longer use "Music Write Plus" in Windows XP Home, looking
    to Upgrade, I read the back of the MWP box and it sounds like it does most
    of what MW Songwriter does.  Is there a major difference between the two?


A:  There are VERY major differences. Too many to even list including the
    look and "feel" that are entirely overhauled and the new series function 
    different in every way. Most importantly "MW Plus" only writes for one
    instrument at a time (one track) while MW Songwriter can do up to 8 
    instruments (tracks). 
 
    MW Plus doesn't do ties, triplets or repeats and supports very limited 
    Time Signatures / Tempos. It is very basic software. Also it's only 
    compatible with Windows 9x/ME.

                              *************

Save your .PBL files in standard .MID format: 
    MW Plus is not supported in new Systems running Win 2000, Win XP or later.
    If throughout the years you have invested a lot of valuable time creating
    PBL files that are important to you, you should do this before upgrading
    your system to XP or any other OS that is not supported by MW Plus. Once 
    you migrate to the new OS, it is too late to Save your PBL files as MIDI
    files, since you cannot install this program onto new platforms. 

    If you failed to this 'beforehand' the only other option would be to 
    re-install MW Plus in a different System that runs Win 95 or Win 98 
    and do the conversion from there.
