Joe's right, MIDIScan was just too much hassle to use for simple melodies - maybe if you had an orchestral score (or at least a complex piano arrangement) it would be easier than hand entry of notes, but not for folk melodies.

Selene, please clarify what you mean by converting music into notes. Is "music" what you hear, and "notes" what you see on paper (or computer screen)? If so, it seems that I have read about somewhere sometime a device that can convert any instrument into a MIDI input device. That, combined with the proper software, could convert music to notes. Anybody else heard of, seen, or used such a device? Or am I just dreaming?
