I posted a question a while ago about FINALE and Cakewalk but there were no responces. Has anyone used FINALE 2.0? (It just arrived now in the stores last week). I'm looking for a program that can offer easy composition in standard notation with printing capabilities (prefferably laser-postscript) and can also handle input from a keyboard (sequencing) or MIDI instrument. I have the MQX-PC MIDI interface and a Roland D-10 keyboard I'm looking at FINALE-PC v2.0 Cakewalk Pro v4.0 Music Printer Plus v? any other ones I should be looking at? I want to be able to compose using both keyboards (computer and music) at the same time so getting two programs is not as useful. any remarks, help will be appreciated reply to asaxon@jarthur.claremont.edu or post in this news group Thanks Allan "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

I have Music Printer Plus 3.2 and like it. You can enter music in normal notation, compile it, and generate MIDI sequences. Music can be entered in real-time from a keyboard or (if you have little piano ability) with a mouse. It costs about $480. The major bummer with it is that it is copy-protected. I also have Laser Music Processor. It can be used to enter and print music, but has limited MIDI output capability. It can read and score standard MIDI input, however. I bought it for $80. I'll sell it for $50. Write for details. ttl@cs.wisc.edu
