[micro] music transcription system wanted

unbent@ecsvax.UUCP (03/02/84)

==>
	A colleague of mine is about to take the plunge and
purchase his first micro system.  One of the main things he
wants to be able to do with it is transcribe music.  Can
anyone out there in netland suggest optimal hardware and
software which would allow someone to enter musical notation
from the keyboard, edit it on the screen, and get a hard-copy
printout of a musical score (i.e., sort of a word-processor
which produced sheet music instead of manuscripts)?  We both
believe that something like that *must* exist.
	Please reply by mail.  If I get a high volume of
responses, I will assume there's a general interest and post a
summary.  Thanks all.
