I'm an amateur musician/arranger longer on theory than equipment, and so far I've been using an entry level music notation and scoring progam called MusicTime. I now have a Midi keyboard and want to connect up to the G4 so that I don't have to manually click in every friggin note and chord.

So far I haven't been able to get the Yamaha UX16 to connect with my program through the USB port (although OMS does see the translator box the keyboard is isolated from both send and receive) and the demo for Finale doesn't either.

does anyone know a good entry level program that is USB aware, for notation/arrangement/scoring? At my level, performance is a bit over my needs. (I usually export midi to Quicktime for playback once I have an arrangement.)

I appreciate any advice, and my price comfort level is probably US$ 300 or so.

Thanks George

If you find that Music Time is basically OK for your needs, then you could use PrintMusic, which is basically a stripped-down version of Finale. Cheaper and easy to use than the full version, though of course with less options. Or you could use the free Finale Notepad. The print quality of both of these is much better than MusicTime.

The full version of Finale should be able to import your MusicTime files (as they are basically stripped-down Encore files, IIRC).

The other thing about PrintMusic is that you can open Finale files in it, and vice versa. So if you decide to upgrade to a higher version in the future, it shouldn't be a problem.

Coda

Good luck with it anyway.
