I agree using the mouse as the only method to put notes on the staff is 
overkill.  I was happy to see that the memetics midi pro-studio allowed 
input from the keyboard utilizing the function keys for the notes time.
I haven't had the time to try it though, I usually just record the song
by playing it on the midi attached keyboard.  Yes what I am saying is that
the Pro-studio records from the midi keyboard in real time.  Unfortunatly
the information is stored in an ascii file not on the grand staff nor have
I found any option for printing out the music.  Hopefully someone will 
integrate all the nice features of the current music packages into one
easy to use and powerful program, of course it will take 2 meg to get it
running ;-)
