A friend of mine is looking for a program that will convert music played on MIDI into standard musical notation. Until now the only program has found is Notator from C-lab. He has bought the demo disk, but is very disappointed by it since it is only a slide show showing some of the less interesting features of the program. This, plus the price (dfl1200, about $600), has made him very reluctant to buy the program. Are there people who have good/bad/mixed experiences with this program, or have (cheaper) alternatives?

I haven't seen the demo. But i use NOTATOR for scoring a 17 piece orchestra for a ballet about every 6 weeks. The musicians find the scores exceedingly easy to read. The newest version of NOTATOR supports laser output and slanted beams. NOTATOR is considered the state of the art for integrated scoring and sequencing. WHen you add up the cost for other packages that are separate sequencers and scoring programs.. your cost is roughly the same.. while you don't have benefit of working with ONE program. -kevin callahan bissiri@blake.acs.washington.edu
