A new version of Capella Reader has now been marketed by Capella, and it still remains free of charge. The URL to find it is :
https://www.capella-software.com/us/index.cfm/products/capella-reader/info-capella-reader/  Watch the short vidio before moving on.

We have used Capella for setting music since 1998 in preference to Sibelius or Finale, grown up with it over its evolution, set
the WGMA Psalter Praise & Glory with it, and now would like to recommend you all to join us with using its little spin-off Capella Reader.

The new version does much more than the old one did. It will open CAPELLA files (both *.cap and *.capx), MusicXML files, and MIDI files.
When playing these files in Capella Reader, the cursor will move to the correct place in the music.

The scores which we use are almost always produced as Capella files, and MusicXML or MIDI files are only "a push of a button" away and can easily be put on line (as below). You can all read, listen to, and practice with the free Capella reader and print out the scores themselves.

We have started to experiment with how such alternatives might be easily presented, see below!  This may not be the final version.

All you have to do is enter your email address and download the .exe file which will probably find its way to your 'downloads' folder. Don't use the alternative App.  If you have already downloaded what will be an older Reader, I would suggest removing it before installing the new version - only this new version has the added benefits.

From the web site the Midi files will go to your downloads folder, also probably the Capella files. Right click the midi files and say "Open with Capella Reader 8".  You may then also have to click on a blue index page where you should find the name of the file you want. Yes, midi files will also produce music files! Forget the XML files for the time being.

If you download the Capella file for the Score, individual controls on the bottom left of the music page will enable you to hear your part either by itself (solo), or with the other parts muted in the background.  An opened Capella part file appears not to have that opportunity available.
