They say that Finale and Sibelius are the ultimate music notationn software packages. I haven't tried Sibelius, but my Finale 2002 has MIDIScan built in for scanning sheet music, and also a utility called MicNotate. The MIDIScan worked quite well the two times I used it, although not perfectly. I think there's a bit of a "learning curve." I couldn't figure out how to work MicNotate - I gather it's supposed to let you sing or play a tune into a microphone, and then transcribe the tune into notation.
I just send things to Blessings Barbara, and get the notation back by e-mail. Much easier. [grin]
Thanks, Barbara.
