Hi Chris,
will attempt to answer your questions, as respectfully as possible.

Karen,
There seems to be some confusion about exactly what you would like (or at
least I am a little confused), so perhaps some clarification can help.
Glad you are owning your confusion at least. smiles.
I am not sure what you mean by the term adaptive. Do you have some sight
impairment like Jeanette and need tools that can accomodate that, or do
you just mean a tool that can adapt to your preferred work flow?
First, I do not know Jeanette personally but feel sure her life experience
is
unique. there are hundreds of millions of individuals using adaptive
technology, some due to vision, some due to dexterity, some due to print
challenges etc.
All of them accommodate their bodies based on their individual needs since
a shared label does not a shared experience make.
My goal was not to make this a body discussion.
Still as stated Linux is not ready for my body. Lets hope that is enough
to satisfy your interest without my having to list in likely meaningless
detail to those here the shortcomings of the system for me personally.
How possible might it be to use your singing voice for composing?
...
what I mean is to sing the parts into your software of choice, then using
that software to first add the orchestrations, playback etc., then produce
that music in printable form?
What exactly do you want when you use the term composing?
Of course you can use a multi-track recorder and layer harmonies with your
voice.
Chris, I have been singing professionally for several years.
Increasingly I am starting to write songs as well. However as my voice is
my main instrument, and I desire other musicians to play what I write, I
desire getting those from my head and voice into a tool, use
instrumentation to fill in the gaps, and print the
results, tablaure rotational or both, and hand that sheet to musicians.
Is that more clear?
>
By the term add orchestrations, do you mean add additional instruments in
addition to your vocal parts (which is of course possible with multi-track
recording), or do you mean convert the vocal parts into other
instrumentation?
see above. do you now of a many track recorder able to print the results
sung into that recorder?
Do you want to convert to MIDI data to drive synthesizers or samplers to
mimic traditional orchestration?
Not unless I have no other way. I am not overly fond of the midi stuff
I have heard.
I prefer to set the basics with my voice alone, use instrumentation
options to fill in the orchestrations, and print from there.
And preferably convert to
conventional
music notation as a final step?
I wish to skip the midi step leading to the conventional final product
for performance / recording with live musicians.
Depending on what workflow you would like, I suspect that pitch-to-MIDI
may be the term you are looking for. That would involve recording a vocal
part, sending to pitch-to-MIDI to convert to MIDI data, then editing that
data to correct any errors in transcription, shift up or down by octaves
to account for differences between vocal range and instrument range, add
details which are difficult to sing, etc.
Hmm, you may understand the essence of my goal at least.
Why would midi be needful, and if so do you know of pitch to midi programs
I can investigate?
Will be researching the term myself, so thanks.
Kare
