Allan,

I have used DMCS a lot for this sort of thing, or should I say my wife does.
She is a music teacher and although DMCS is not best music program it offers
to put music in notaional form and actully flashes the notes and turns the 
pages as it plays them through.  We have a MIDI connected to an electronic
piano which does a really good job of the music playing but playing through
the Amiga is very aceptable.  The price of DMCS is the best part it has
been selling for $99.00 australian when I bought it it was $198.

It will do everything that you want it to do.

I hope this helps.
