I recently bought a Sound Blaster card. However, I was dissapointed
to find that it came with no good music editing software. The FM
Intelligent Organ is actually a pretty Stupid program (especially for
something called Intelligent). What I am looking for a program that
allows me to write music by specifying musical notes (i.e. as in sheet
music). Creative Labs (the company that manufiacture the SB) offers such
a program for $79.95 which seem a little steep. Is there a public
domain/share ware package program to do this. And if there is, where
can it be ftp'ed from?
Thanks,
Mike.--

I received this last week and was surprised at how powerful it seems to be. You can use a mouse with pull down menus and even place all notes along with anyother info, rests, time sig, flats, ect with it. The documentation which comes with it is very limited but after playing around for a few hours (and copying sheet music to get started) I have most things figured out. You can regester the program (remember shareware ;-) for $89.00 through Creative Labs or the software company in Finland. If you KNOW music and how to write it, this is for you. In my case its been many years since high school band so I'll keep on copying sheet music till I get the hang of it. Good luck. Daniel dawdy@tellabs.com
