Anyone Used MasterWriter

[Pinkstar]

Thanks for Curio, it does look very cool and helpful I tried to get the demo version of Masterwriter but it gave me problems so I guess I wasn't suppose to work with it. I might give it another try it did look cool. JVB Quote:Coupla quick notes:-- I think ASCAP members get a nice discount too, just BTW. -- Also, I inquired with MasterWriter whether Songuard is available separately, and it is not.-- There is a *different* service out there called SongGuard (two "g"s) that is *not* affiliated with MasterWriter. I contacted MasterWriter about them, asking, "Hey, is this you guys?" and they were unpleasantly surprised. Yikes!In case anybody needs a more general creative organizational tool: I started using Curio a few years ago (http://www.zengobi.com/). It's for any type of project organization, I think particularly geared toward creative professionals (designers, etc.). But I've used it to track notes on tech setups for different bands (its "sticky lines" are awesome for documenting cabling between pieces of hardware), and for collecting ideas, receipts, stage plots, photos, etc. for music-for-theater projects, and so on. More recently I've created a Curio-based template that roughly follows the method Pat Pattison puts forth in "Writing Better Lyrics." Main idea, object writes, thesaurus search, rhyme worksheet, etc.While Curio doesn't have a built-in thesaurus, it has a nifty Internet search tool called Sleuth that searches multiple reference sites on the term you enter. It includes standard ones like Thesaurus.com but also any that you customize it to use -- in my case sound-effects libraries. Put in "house" and you can get stock photos of houses, rhymes and definitions of "house," sound effects related to "house", etc.
