Los Altos, Calif. - FreeHand Systems, a Los Altos-based provider of digital sheet music products and services, said on Monday that it has completed its acquisition of Illinois-based Electronic Courseware Systems (ECS), a privately held computer software developer and publisher of music and music education products. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. ECS was founded in 1981 to make music software available to teachers and students on low-cost home computers. The company now has more than 40,000 customers, including schools, private teachers, students and home users. The company has previously developed software for companies such as Roland, Yamaha, IBM, Baldwin Piano and Organ, as well as major textbook and music publishers. The technology will be a nice fit for FreeHand, which manufactures a digital music tablet that lets users display and publish digitally delivered sheet music. The company also operates a web site that offers more than 85,000 titles for digital download, which can then be transferred to the tablet.
