I play in a community band and often use Midinote composer to facilitate my practice, both for band rehearsal preparation and for music assigned by my horn teacher. Curreently, I am entering this music with a small midi keyboard, but this quickly becomes tedious. I am trying the smart score software which has the capability of exporting *.mid files.

Has anyone reported using such software? Any known problems? Is there a better way?

I'd like to cut down the amount of work I have to do while keeping my costs minimized.

Thanks..

Tom
