Deluxe Music Construction Set is capable of receiving data from a MIDI
keyboard, but only in step time.  I believe that you specify that a
selectable fraction of a second corresponds to a selectable note duration,
i.e. .25 second is an eighth note.  You can hold down a key longer to
get longer notes, but I don't think it's true that you hold down the key
twice as long to get twice the note value.  I.e. you hold down for
.50 seconds for a dotted eighth, .75 for a quarter, 1.0 for a dotted
quarter, etc.

Alternatively, you can buy a real time MIDI sequencer program to accept
real time input, store it in a .SMUS file, and load the file in to DMCS.
Or, of course, you can enter the notes by hand onto the DMCS staves.

Any resemblance of my opinion to that of AT&T or any of its associates,
living or dead, is purely coincidental.
