This has probably already been hashed out here, but I wanted to ask...

  I have a friend who has an IBM PC/XT and a synthesizer and she wants the
two to talk to one another.  Basically she wants to play on the synth and
have sheet music 'Magically' appear on the PC which she can then save,
print, edit, play back, delete, or whatever is her heart's desire.

  Obviously, we are going to need some sort of card with a MIDI interface
on it and a software package to do the 'Magic'.

  What we don't want is a Patch Librarian or a Big Sequencer, but it's OK
if it does that too.  It must output sheet music, not some sort of event table.

  Can anyone suggest any hardware/software packages that will do what we want?
How about something that comes close?  How close?  Which are best?  Company
names and addresses would be appreciated.

  Please mail your thoughts/opinions to me and I'll post to the net.

     Thanks,

   Rob Verbrugghe
