Mosaic 1.5 is 100% PowerPC native for blazing speed on Power Macintosh computers. Exactly what do we mean by blazing? Our tests show a ten-fold speed improvement in some cases. For example, on a relatively modest, affordable Power Macintosh 7200, using "Undo" after transposing an entire file took only 2 seconds in Mosaic 1.5, while taking over 13 seconds in earlier versions. Just imagine how much faster you will be able to work. And Mosaic still runs great on 680x0-based Macs as well - its entire code base has been thoroughly optimized for improved speed and performance overall.

Faster file saving

But there are even more speed improvements. Thanks to a new buffering scheme, Mosaic 1.5 now saves approximately five times faster than earlier versions. This means you can save more often - and wait less.

Accelerated screen redrawing

Mosaic 1.5 no longer relies on Sonata(tm) font or Adobe Type Manager(tm) (ATM). Instead, Mosaic now has its own TrueType music font, called Vivo, which includes a complete set of screen fonts. This allows Mosaic to redraw the screen approximately five times faster than earlier versions. Redraws are especially faster when you are viewing staves at small point sizes. If getting a bird's-eye view of your score was too slow before, you'll love seeing your scores from a whole new perspective in Mosaic 1.5.
