The musician staff type composition programs sound interesting.  Does that mean
I can edit,play, and print a traditional musical score?  If so, can someone
give me the name of the software and possibly a rough idea of where I might
find it?  My purpose is to be able to compose or arrange and print a final
score to be performed by people.  Being able to play it on the computer is just
a tool to compensate for my poor keyboard skills.  So a traditional music score
is a must.

The person I spoke to on the phone at Brown-Wagh didn't know of anything that
met my needs.  I know there is software available for the more expensive
Roland boards but that software doesn't support Soundblaster or Adlib.
