(i am seriously interested) If you mean "notation in which to print out my own music".... I don't need to. I can burn a CD. If you mean "notation in which to manipulate notes within the app".... as I said in another post, I think I'd like a high-level, non-LISP-like programming language I could use to code my songs. Lacking that, the commonly used piano roll notation is certainly the most intuitive. (Yes, I did have piano lessons as a kid and yes, I did learn how to read music. Piano roll notation still makes more sense to me, especially when I start transposing.) If I were a band or orchestra leader, it'd be different... but I'm not. I'm one guy with a bunch of instruments and a computer that will record me playing all of them by ear. Rob
