John, I was responding to this comment that Genie made:

"The main shortcomings of NotePad Plue, for most folk music and
other fairly simple music, are that you can't enter notes from
an instrument or mic,"

The point about MIDI not making good dots, and good dots not making good MIDI is an important one--after a while, you learn to enter MDI MIDI in a way that will make the dots you want--also, Overture allosws you to fix the dots without altering the playback--
