In the new version of HARMONY, to be released soon, you can create an 'Empty' tune containing just bars full of rests. The rests are then edited one at a time to become notes. This is a kind of half-way house between direct input on the score, and import from a different notation, such as abc. Time signature, key and number of bars are selected from a menu, which ensures that the music is properly structured (unless you make a mistake when changing note lengths). I would be interested to hear if this sounds useful. (Of course, it also has the option of generating a random tune as well!)
