Well, there is The Copyist, DTP by Mr. T's Software, It takes MIDI files
and produces very good output. You can do the editing by hand, but that
is very difficult and tedious. DMCS is what I use for scoring, it has some
limitations though. But for the money DMCS is pretty good. The problem with
The Copyist, DTP is that it is expensive, about $300.
