Here are some illustrations of some of the features offered by the Django software:

• Screenshot of Tablature: Django offers an intuitive interface to input tablature, either solo, or together with other instruments in tablature or regular notation.

  Note on the bookshelves on the left of the screen: Django indexes documents automatically for you, based on categories you define. Each bookshelf contains multiple Django documents, that are themselves divided into multiple sections.

  

• Screenshot of Notation mode: You can also use Django to input regular notation, with Modern, Renaissance or Baroque style clefs.
• A transcription from the Siena manuscript. PDF display of Django tablature and notation Django allows you to produce quality PDF documents for printing and distribution on the WEB.
• Extended PDF demo: Django allows you to produce whole PDF books with titlepages, that include very different combinations of instruments and notations, including the now arcane alfabeto system used for Baroque guitar.

  That document also includes a transcription of the arrangement by J.B. Besard of Dowland's Lachrimae, that no one so far has been able to make sense of...

• Extended notation demo: This page shows Django's XML indexing capabilities, which allows you to publish a document on the WEB easily, together with a PDF and MIDI renditions, without having to worry about each file's link. The PDF document on that page also shows the use of a titlepage.
• You can even export whole groups of files at once, as exemplified here. However there is now an even better way to share your Django files, the one I am using currently to reload all the collections on this site. To use that feature, open the file you want to share in Django and select the Export->Export document to WEB site menu option. Select the PDF and an optional image, create the MIDI files with the Create midi files button, and click on the create ZIP package file. next click on the Upload package to the musickshandmade site and upload the ZIP file just created. This will create a whole new collection and index each and every section in the Django file. After that you will be given the opportunity to add some text to appear on the collection's WEB page together with the Django data.
• Django also produces quality MIDI files that can be converted to WAV and MP3 formats with a tool like Timidity. You can produce fairly complex arrangements that will give you a good idea of what the final result would sound likes in actual performance setting. Here are some examples:
  • The prelude for harpsichord and guitar by Manuel Ponce
  • One of my own modern compositions
  • My arrangement of the English 17th century tune, Cold and raw
  • Enjoy creating unplayable music, like this modern duet arrangement of Willoughby, Welcome home
