[HANASHIR:6577] Software for transcribing songs

[Roslyn Schwartz <rs4...>]

Hi to all of you,

I'm looking for some software with which to transcribe songs.  What do
you use / recommend?  

Some of my questions are:  Features?  Ease of use?  Price range?
Integration with wordprocessing programs, so I can simply import the
lyrics?  Are there any which can take the music, if I play it on a
keyboard, and transcribe the notes for me?  What about playing back the
transcribed music, so that I can tell if it's right?  Format of output,
i.e. how good does the final product look visually?  Can I change fonts
for the words, alter the size of the lines, etc.?  Options for
transposition to another key?  Ability to handle harmony lines?  and
whatever else you can think of that you have found useful!

Thanks for your help - as always.
