Thanks guys, you'e been a big help, and just in case ye're wondering I'n not expected to have the piece written until well after Christmas! Common Music Notation looks great however I'm very interested in taking a look at Notewriter, a graphics program for writing notation with no midi playback!, sounds too good to be true! Thanks again!
