tierramedia.com specialises in the development of computer based music notation software. We are essentially composed of a handful of programmers based in Brisbane, Australia.

Until recently, we were known as Middle Earth Software Systems. In our new incarnation, we'll be continuing to support the current range of software, while pushing ahead with the development of new versions.

Middle Earth Software Systems started out in 1990 developing the original version of Music Works. At the time there were very few choices when it came to sound hardware for the PC so we were working with the first Sound Blaster card, and developing for DOS.

When Windows came along Music Works was completely re-written to take advantage of the new facilities provided by this new operating system. At the moment, we are in the process of re-writing Music Works yet again to make full use of the 32 bit architecture of Windows 2000 and NT.
