Andrew, Morwen has access to and experience with Sibelius, so Finale Notepad will not be of any use for her.

You are welcome to contribute to my thread "Little Software Helpers?" - however, Finale Notepad is a "crippled" version of full Finale, designed to get users hooked to Finale, so it cannot be called "little".

Morwen, is your dad's help so hard to ask for (compared with Leeneia plus Joe Offer who has to host the resulting MIDI files)? Sibelius help is very easy to obtain on the net as well. What doesn't sound right?
