Sorry if this is the second time you've seen this message. We have a new
local area network here and some of my messages are from time to time
inexplicably rejected.

To Bill and Robert: What kind of learning curve is associated with getting
"up to speed" on the Yamaha or Casio MIDI horn? Have either of you tried
to input into Finale and if so, what kind of cleaning up is there to do
afterward?
I'd love to try out one, but only in the hope that the cleaning up to go from
MIDI input to notation form is not as extensive as I have to do now with
the output from MIDISCAN.
