Hi people! Thank you for all your suggestions regarding music notation programs. I will look into all of them. I am worried that my poor nephew will do what the son of a friend did last year by asking his parents to pay for a very expensive 12 month course of sound design study that he was not capable of doing. This young man quit the school within a few days when he realized that he didn't have enough of the basics to keep up with the other students. This young guy made things worse by dropping out and failing to notify his parents for a few months thereby losing them a considerable amount of money. Bill
