Re guitar software, answer is yes - I have Finale Guitar, but don't have a midi interface (yet!) on my pc.

I do use it sometimes, to enter the melody via standard notation, then convert it to tab, whereby you can change which string you want the note to be played on, and it will determine the fret number on the new string accordingly.

However, it does have to be said, that whilst I haven't practiced scales until recently, I can usually mentally work out quickly where notes are on the fretboard.

Thanks for the idea.
