Hi Cindy:

Thanks for the information! I have heard of such programs, but I don't know
about the availability in this country. As to the program that you
have.....Is it available for IBM compatables as well? For jobs such as you
mentioned, it does seem to be a good way to go because no midi device is
required so, (even if the program is expensive), one would save the cost of
a midi converter. There are a couple of other things I wonder about,
though.

1. Does the program allow one to enter music, via the clarinet, voice, or
another instrument, to Finale or some other music writing program which
could then be edited, or does it have its own printer/writer program which
must be used?

2. I'd also like to ask if anyone knows of a way to scan music to Finale or
other mu. wr. pr., and then be able to use the other program to edit or
transpose the scanned document.

Very interesting stuff, anyway!

Thanks,

Carl Schexnayder
