Hope it all goes well and you get connected. Noteworthy is great for inputing notes from a keyboard, but you do have to specify the note length first. It is not designed for recording a song from a keyboard (you need something called qauntize for this unless your timing is spot on ie to 100th of a sec). It is technicaly possible but not very satisfactory. The programe is designed more as a word processor for music, and a very good job it makes of it to.
It may interest people to know that Noteworthy seem to have changed their policy with the latest revision. The trial period seems to be limited to 30 days now rather than the endless trial with limitations.
The registration in the UK cost me £30 last year and this includes all the updates as long as v1.? continues.
If the connection problem continues leave a message here as there are various steps to go through and there is a freeware prog for checking midi connections.
