Do you have any recommendations please?

Well, there's Finale and Cakewalk and so on, but for what you want, an old
DOS program called SongWright will do the job, and its price is much lower
than the big Windows programs. I have used it for years to transpose and
then print out scores. First you enter the music, note by note, which is a
rather slow process, but then it can be transposed into any key, quickly
and easily.

If there is a Web site for the company, I couldn't find it just now. I
have an old phone number -- 703 777 7232. Last I heard, SongWright still
didn't do Windows, but there is another program called MusicEase that does,
and can handle SongWright files.
