Does anybody have any recommendations on music-writing packages for the 800XL?  A friend of mine is interested in writing songs for the guitar and is thinking of setting up to have computer assistance.

I would think that a package which could help with writing the scores in standard musical notation and could play the music would be what he wants.  Sort of a music word-processor with the ability to play the music too.

Does such a package exist for the 800XL?
How about the ST or the AMIGA, if anyone on this net knows?

Thanks for any help that is forthcoming.
