Well, after all of my complaining, I finally found what I was looking for. It is probably similar to Noteworthy Composer, as described above. I called all the mail order catalogs and just asked them to describe what they had for the Mac, whether it was in their current catalog or not. I found Concertware Home CD (Mac/Win) for $35 from Mac/PC Connection catalog. There is a piano keyboard on the screen that you play by clicking notes with the mouse, or you can add a MIDI keyboard to play, and the score is created in sheet music before your very eyes!! You can easily transpose to other keys, score up to 32 staves of instruments at a time, create harmony, type lyrics in several ways under the notes, enter guitar chords.... and more that I haven't played with yet, since it was delivered to my door only yesterday. I decided this was my birthday/Christmas gift. Now, when I figure out how to save this notation as a MIDI file that can be shared with all of you.... alice in MT
