So, first of all, what is the best computer for the express purpose of music generation and printing (IBM, IBM compatibles, Apple, Atari, Commodore, Amiga, etc.) and the accompanying software? And, if you don't know, could you direct me to a source (other than saying in Keyboard magazine within the last 5 years)? All input is welcome. Thanks! --Eugene
