Rick, as you have seen, there are different methods of inputing the tune via midi. My keyboard playing is not that clever and I find that dragging the notes onto the staff (using Cakewalk) is atually quicker for me than correcting my timing errors.

What is the midi set up you have for your guitar? It is an area that I know nothing about but I would be interest to know if somthing that would work for my banjo exists.

It looks as if you have enough offers of help already but as long as your not looking at anything too complicated (I have never seen Sing Out), I should be able to set it out using Microsoft Publisher e.g. to make a booklet of folded A4 and if what Microsoft say is true, you would have it in a format ready for printing by a commercial printer.

I have only used this program once - last Chritmas I used it to make homemade booklets as presents for the famlily just using plain paper inside and a stiffer coloured card for the outside, fold and staple. They came out quite well.
