Disklavier

After reading this, it occured to me that I implied that Sibelius uses
Smartscore.  This is not true. Their product is called Photoscore, and
Photoscore Lite is the product I am using.  I am disappointed in it, but I
will reserve judgement for the full version.  SIBELIUS IS A GREAT SOFTWARE
however.  I was able to copy an aria with all the expressions markings
(dynamic - pp and ff, and legato and tempo etc..) in a matter of three to
four hours.  In addition, it reads beautifully into a midi file and all the
dynamics and nuances are there.  It even allows you to create your own
markings and has a very simple tool to translate it into midi language.  I
find the sequencers so difficult, this software does it from a
non-electrician musician's point of view.  If there is a sforzando you enter
Sff and that is all, the program translates this into midi.  Great program.
