	I, too, have need to produce professional-looking scores from MIDI
input, and I 
can tell you to take another look at Dr. T's copyist professional,
because it really
has been the ultimate solution for me..

	You don't have to use Dr. T's copyist exclusively for the note entry. If you
also buy Dr. T's MRS (MIDI Recording Studio, $49, a scaled-down version
of KCS), it will
read in anything played on the MIDI keyboard, and then you can port the
information to
Copyist Professional, and print it from there. The results, I've found,
are incredible.

	Give it a try: $150 for Copyist Pro, and $49 for MRS.

	You'll be very happy. I am.
