FreeHand Systems and Naxos Online Libraries Launch Sheet Music Library Web Site.

LOS ALTOS, CA, November 1, 2007FreeHand Systems, Inc., wholly owned subsidiary of FreeHand Systems International, Inc. (OTC:FSYI) and Naxos Online Libraries announced today the official launch of the Naxos Music Library – Sheet Music. The program is an expansion of the library program FreeHand acquired when it purchased SheetMusicNow.com in 2006.

The newly launched program combines the previous effort plus additional songs published by FreeHandMusic.com and triples the number of available titles, increasing the number of titles to over 40,000. In addition to adding new titles, FreeHand has implemented Mac compatibility as well with its Solero Viewer, proprietary software used for downloading, printing, and transposition.

“We are committed to growing the library business model and our partnership with Naxos has significant growth potential for us,” said Kim Lorz, CEO of FreeHand Systems.

Klaus Heymann, founder of Naxos said, "The launch of the joint Naxos Music Library Sheet Music database represents the shared commitment of Freehand and Naxos to music education through the development of relevant technology.  We look forward to working with Freehand in the future to expand our cooperation to create exciting new educational products."
