Comments by Chris Contaxis: This is the demo version of a program by the late Achilleus Angelidis. His son, Nikos Angelidis, after the premature death of his father in 2005 decided to promote this work. The demo is a fully functional with the exception that it does not save and does not print. There is a separate help file. The program is older than Melodos and does more or less the same things. You write and listen to the music. It also supports converting Byzantine notation to Western notation.

The program requires a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and large fonts. Right click on desktop and click Properties and then Settings. Select 1024x768 and then click "Advanced" and select 120 dpi in the font size selection dialog. Also make sure you have installed Greek fonts in your Windows system.

Uncompress (unzip) the program files and run byzan.exe from the location you uncompressed into. Select the desired language.Once into the program there is a manual with analytic instructions. If there is any difficulty please contact Mr Chris Contaxis (ask me for his email).
