Lyricist Version 3 is an affordable, easy-to-use songwriting software tool designed for musicians, songwriters, and poets.

The new version features a simplified and enhanced user interface, support for the Nashville Number System, and a Transposition feature that allows you to quickly and easily transpose songs between musical keys and back and forth between Piano and Guitar style chord charts. It even lets you transpose into the Nashville Number System format. The Nashville feature quickly converts your chord charts and arrangements from any standard key into the Nashville Number format making it easy for players to transcribe the song into any key - on the fly.

"Lyricist v3 continues its quest towards providing songwriters all the resources they could want, while keeping them affordable and easy to use," says VSS product manager Eddie Imbriano, "With the addition of our powerful Chord Charting and Transposition features and a list price of $59.95 ($49.95 street price), we feel we have created the most complete and affordable songwriting package available today that is truly worthy of its billing as "the songwriter's best friend."

Combined with an impressive list of features from earlier versions that included a secure centralized archive for cataloging songs, chord charting, rhyming dictionary, thesaurus, and the ability to organize songs into album categories, Lyricist v3's additional new features include arrangement and guitar tablature templates, an assortment of musical notation symbols for enhanced chord charts, and a new and improved import/export zip archive feature. "With Lyricist 3.0," says Imbriano, "VSS maintains its commitment to songwriters and musicians - providing them with an easy to use package that includes all the essential tools of the trade for writing, polishing, and archiving lyrics."
