DonaldM Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'd like to get some sort of music notation software that will allow me to do all of the following: 1. Start with a blank score, create multiple parts note for note and convert to midi for playback2. Start with a midi file and convert to score for editing and arranging.3. Add guitar chords 4. Add lyrics5. Add normal music notation symbols I'm not looking to invest in something as complex as say, Sibelius, nor as basic as some freebie might be. Any suggestions? Thanks There are 10 kinds of people in the world...those who can read binary, and those who can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric VB Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Finale should be able to do all that and more. It comes in several different levels, so choose the one that fits your budget while also fulfilling all of your needs. finale.com We used the full version of Finale in our electronic music class and I found it very useful when working with standard music notation and MIDI. (We used other software for recording audio.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldM Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't looked at Finale in a while. I suspected it has had several upgrades since I last saw it.

BillWelcome Home Studios Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure that Band In A Box does this, and probably Sonar.
