[HANASHIR:15910] Finale data entry

[Freedabet <Freedabet...>]

If you 'play' the music into the system via MIDI, you will often spend more 
time 'cleaning up' than if you entered the music other ways.  If you want to 
enter a single line at a time, then the computer keyboard alone is fastest;  
however, if you want to enter more than one note at a time, such as chords, 
then playing the chord on the MIDI while typing a key on the computer keyboard 
to specify duration is even faster.

  If you want to typeset a composition with Finale, it's
  usually easier and faster to use your computer keyboard
  than a music keyboard!

  If you want a decent music keyboard on which you can
  actually perform music (with or without a computer
  attached), go for something around $300. Here is the
  page with Yamaha keyboards:

  If you want to attach the keyboard to your computer,
  make sure that the keyboard is General Midi (GM)
  compatible (most above the entry level are); you will
  need to buy a special Midi cable to make the connection
  to your computer sound card.
