Subject: RE: Call for software testers
I would be happy to try it, though I don't have lots of time to spend playing with it. What I would most like to have is a program that will let me play a relatively straightforward melody line on a keyboard through a MIDI connection, and give me printable music. I've tried Noteworthy Composer and Finale PrintMusic, and neither really works for me--which, of course, may say more about me than about the programs. I use NWC by laboriously entering notes on the (computer) keyboard using numbers, arrow keys, keyboard commands, mouse, etc.....AAAUUGGGH! Most of what I would want it for would be songs with single melody lines with attached lyrics (I do like the way NWC matches lyrics to notes). A bonus would be if I could type in chord names and have the program play a simple bass-chord accompaniment.

Aloha,
Mark
