Music Notation using a computer
on: April 07, 2008, 09:23:50 PM
Greetings,

My wife and I have zero talent but immense enthusiasim/commitment to learning.  My wife is a struggleing singer.  I am wondering if there is a computer program that would allow me to easily enter music notation so that I can change keys.  My ability to transpose on the fly is less than zero.

I've learned a lot by lurking and offer my appreciation in advance for any advice.

Regards

I'm pretty sure Sibelius transposes... but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative, Personal Composer is what I use, and it transposes quite nicely.
