Subject: RE: Tech: OK, I can do MIDIs. How do I post them?
Hypothetical question for Joe:
I've just received an "offer" from ScanSoft, makers of my favorite OCR program, TextBridge, to let me buy a new program that "prints to .pdf," which - because I use TextBridge - they can get for me at the special price of $49.99.
I visited the site of the "maker" of the software, and find that the "regular price" is $49.50, but:
If someone sends you a .mid file, you can use it to "lift the notes" into any of a whole bunch of programs. If they could send a .pdf along with it, with the lyrics synchronized to the printed dots - would that meet your needs?
I realize that $50 is still a big chunk for a lot of us, but it's a lot better than $200 for Adobe distiller, and some might find it worth it, if it's an "ok with you guys" way of working the lyrics thing.
