[net.micro.cbm] Needed : Com64 music software

I'm looking for a well designed, easy to use piece of music software
for the Commodore 64.  In spite of a somewhat detailed search
for such a program, I have yet to find anything that has all of
these features in one package :

1. Displays musical notation (one or two staffs) on screen as the
   music is being programmed

2. Supports dotted notes and tied notes

3. Allows access to the SID chip parameters so that custom ASDR
   envelopes can be created.

4. Leaves enough memory available to store at least two complete
   pages of sheet music.

The program need not have the capability to print out scores on a 
printer, nor control any of the advanced SID functions, such as ring modulation
or filtering.

And thus I consult the wisdom of the net-oracles, in hopes of finding
the name of such a program, and remaining sane at the same time.

	The Music Construction set isn't bad, but I don't know
	enough about music to know if it fits the bill for you or
	not. I saw a demo of Ryo Kawasaki's synthesiser, and it was
	pretty incredible.
