Since the initial release in 1994, new major versions have been released regularly. Elaine Gould's 2011 book, Behind Bars, is the primary guide to developing and maintaining music engraving in Mozart, as it is for other score writers. Mozart's development in the subsequent decades has been driven by the needs of its users. Mozart 1, in 1994, was entirely based on its author's vision of what a music processor should be. Following the advent of the internet, Version 1 was released to the world on 9 November 1994.
The idea was to be able to type the music as a document, save it in a file, print it as well as play it back through the computer's speakers. The model was that of a WYSIWYG word processor, but for music notation. Work was started on the software in the late 1980s as a personal project to assist its author in arranging music for the groups in which he played. The program was named after the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is used to create and edit Western musical notation to create and print sheet music, and to play it via MIDI. Mozart the music processor is a proprietary WYSIWYG scorewriter program for Microsoft Windows.
