| SoftPC, then any of several commercial IBM-compatible products, e.g.
Ballad ($100?). Writing your own is a BIG challenge, i.e. forget it.

| Some PC-based tools may not run if there is no MIDI Interface present
(I've seen this trying to run some stuff on an Atari ST using PC
Ditto).

| 2599.4 | why not run right on PC/MAC? | HOTWTR::EVANS_BR | | Wed Mar 20 1991 19:29 | 20 |
| re: basenote
Since you didn't actually state you did not have either a MAC or PC
somewhere handy, I thought I'd point out that both have excellent
software for doing these kind of scores:
MAC: ConcertWare (Plus, or Plus MIDI)
Deluxe Music Construction Set
Finale (for the real "gusto" :-) )
Performer (another "gusto" product)
IBM: Cakewalk?? (just a sequencer?)
Band-in-a-box
and others I'm just not familiar with...
doing a keyword search (DIR/KEY=xxxxx) should yield lots of info,
should you desire it.
If this was not the basenote intent, my apologies for taking up note
bandwidth... bwe

This is for schematic design, but it works on a grid, and it
heiarchtical, soyou could define bodies for notes and things, draw a
staff, and go at it placing notes on the staff.

| If you use SoftPC to emulate an IBM-type PC, then you can use LMP,
Laser Music Processor. It works w/o a MIDI interface. I think I
uploaded a shareware version to MIDILIB. It is about $100.
Cakewalk is a sequencer only.

> Band in a Box is neither sequencer (really) or notation.
> Performer display's notation for feedback and editing of musical data
but doesn't output/print notation. They have another product called
Composer that does.
> Finale - probably most expensive
I agree, if you have access to any PC, Mac, Atari, Amiga ... there are plenty
of packages in varying price ranges that will do what you want.
If not, the SoftPC option is definitely viable, except now you've added the
cost of SoftPC ($??) to the solution. Of course, you may use SoftPC for
running many other DOS applications as well.

| These days, you might be able to get a real used PC for the same cost
as SoftPC - unles you add in the cost of desk real estate.....Jon....
