Hi Diane,
     As I sit here typing, I am looking at some Piano Midi Software that
I purchased a few years ago from PG Music (through EDIROL which is the
Roland Music Software site.)  The first is called The Pianist and is all
classical.  However, I have 2 others called "The Jazz Pianist" and The
New Orleans Pianist."  I love them both and highly recommend them.  I
don't own a Disklavier (darn it) and I don't know what you would have to
do to get these to play on your system, but someone out there can surely
tell us.  Take care and stay warm.

I have almost all the PG Music piano programs. They are reasonably priced, highly
professional, wonderful to listen to, great learning tools and can be easily
converted for use with the diskclavier using the most basic of midi sequencers.

A note of caution:  I have some  PG music but in order to play properly I
had to drop the volume way down using Cakewalk.  The notes typically play at
a volume over a hundred.

The music, though, is excellent.

I too bought some software from PG Music, "New Age Pianist" and had to
change the the piano tracks.  I think they show up on the 3rd or 4th
channel.   I used Power Tracks software to change the piano track to the
1st channel where it plays on the disklavier.  It works very well.  I
think that you could make some adjustments on the disklavier without
having to move the tracking on the original software but I cannot
remember what PianoBench instructed in that regard.  We could I suppose
direct that question to him again if anyone is interested.
