Rhapsody/!!ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
This disc contains a demonstration version of Rhapsody which will not allow you to load or save scores. In addition, printing is limited to half a page. Please note that this is not the final version of the program and so may contain bugs. While CLARES have endeavoured to ensure that this program will perform correctly, no responsibility is accepted by CLARES relating to this program. No liability can be accepted for any consequential loss or damage, however caused, arising as a result of the use of this program. Although Rhapsody will play using the speaker built into Archimedes machines, you will get much better results by playing either through a MIDI instrument or through some form of amplification. If you have a standard Acorn monitor, you can connect the headphone socket on the machine to the monitor and so get much better sound quality. Note that if you have a MIDI interface fitted but do not have an instrument attached and switched on, you should deselect MIDI on the options menu before playing. Rhapsody will be released at the Acorn User show in September and will cost �49.95
