What I would like to be able to do is to copy the notes of a folk song tune (like those in the Penguin Book of English Folk Songs, for example) on to a stave on my computer screen - then get the computer to play the tune for me.
I had a program, from Cakewalk, which could do this, but it doesn't work in Windows XP. Anyone know of a recent program which can do this?I tried Finale PrintMusic but it was too complicated and kept changing the notes that I put on the stave (I think that it was telling me that I know nothing about music theory - which I don't - a complete mystery!!).
