What is MusicWorks?

MusicWorks is a piece of music notation/composition. It was originally called "SoundVision", a combined music and graphics editor. Before its release, the graphics editor was removed. It was then released as MusicWorks. Later down the line, MacroMind became part of Macromedia which then became part of Adobe.
