| Richard,
There are tons of programs which will do this which range in price from
shareware to expensive ($700). It also depends on what kind of computer
you want to use. Checkout the COMMUSIC notes file (IMDOWN::COMMUSIC, KP7
or SELECT to add it to your notebook) and look for keyword NOTATION.
Functionality varies enormously. I even saw one that worked on a VAX once.

| The answer is "yes", but you should really define what you mean by
"accept input". It could mean:
o Hook a keyboard to the computer, play the tune, computer prints
out the music
o Use some sort of graphical editor to enter the sheet music,
o etc
Certainly there are programs to do the first two and your best bet
is to move this discussion to COMMUSIC as suggested in .1.

| db,
I mean:
o Use some sort of graphical editor to enter the sheet music
The main reason for doing this on a computer is *not* the urge to write
'computer music', but the (probably) ease of writing and changing the
music on paper.
But as you suggested I moved to COMMUSIC topic 119.26

| "COMMUSIC" is the most mis-named conference I know of.
It started out as "computer music" but is now really more having to
deal with using electronic tools (synths, computers, signal processors,
etc.) to create music.
The retention of the name "COMMUSIC" is purely due to tradition rather
than function.
