+      The Transcribe! application is an assistant for people who want

+      it out, or play it themselves, or both. It doesn't do the
+      transcribing for you, but it is essentially a specialised player
+      program which is optimised for the purpose of transcription. It
+      has many transcription-specific features not found on
+      conventional music players.
