Malcolm: you do realise that humanised playing does not read well on a score? it looks horrible unless you quantise it first and remove duplicate notes and then youve ruined the feel of the swing

I would really like to move from cakewalk completely, but the music notation that cakewalk has is the only thing keeping me with Cakewalk and with a Windows OS partition. If Ardour ever implements Music Notation, along with all the other features it already has, i would not have any excuse to use Cakewalk.
Ardour is so close to being a Cakewalk replacement.

the best way i can see that may work for you, is once you have done it on paper, enter the score in musescore and tidy it up in there, and then jack sync to ardour and have the score displayed while recording audio in ardour?
For this I would recommend Musescore (or Lilypond/Frescobaldi if not faint-of-heart). I assume it is relatively simple to export the MIDI into Musescore but back when I used to use Sonar and Sibelius, I almost always started from scratch in Sibelius given the dubious notations that ensued from MIDI tracks that included overlapping notes, expanded rests, illogical enharmonics etc.
That is for composition part, but when I need to just put some notes on paper I just use the Lilypond directly (usually via Frescobaldi). Lilipond will generate a midi file, too (if you put \midi in the \score section) which can be imported to Ardour.
Does Dorico Pro have more good functions than SE version??
If I am acquainted fully enough with Dorico Pro, I want to buy it.
I have several compositions which I am writing now, so want to get help from scorewriters.
I am writing some kind of piano solo music, like classical genre.
I want to create any chords easily, any syncopation, any resolution
any inserting notes to any places
In cakewalk I can create chords easily where some notes belong to treble , others to bass so easily
But nowadays, every SW including Dorico, it is not permitted.
In cakewalk, translation, transposing, syncopation were easy.
The pro version allows greater complexity of editing the score, such as divisi, condensing, and many nuances of fine-tuning the finished product. You have no limitations to the number of players in your score, and you have greater control over staff spacing, note spacing, etc.
But then, it doesn't have to. If you want to prepare a score for performers, there are several fine notation programs available. My complaint is not with Cakewalk Staff View's inability to display and respond to the entire kitchen drawerful of notational symbols. As long as you are preparing a performance on MIDI instruments rather than parts for musicians to read, the details of musical nuance can be handled much better in a sequencer than in a notation program. A sequencer stores, edits and controls nuance precisely, as MIDI data, rather than as symbols whose interpretation depends on the skill, rehearsal time and memory of performers.
Cook sought a producer and venue in New York. He met much rejection before bringing his cast uninvited to a rehearsal hall where he heard that another act was auditioning for Edward E. Rice, manager of the Casino Theatre's Roof Garden. Rice eventually agreed to present it.[4] The musical was adapted for the venue, with Rice removing most of Dunbar's dialogue, as the rooftop setting made spoken dialogue difficult to understand over the noise from the street. Clorindy was first presented on July 4, 1898 as an afterpiece to Rice's production Summer Nights, and it was a hit,[3] prompting Cook to boast that "My chorus sang like Russians, dancing meanwhile like Negroes, and cakewalking like angels, black angels!"[7] He declared that "Negroes are at last on Broadway, and here to stay!"[4][page needed]
does anyone can suggest me a simple program (possibly free) which i could unload and use to write music?
(looking for just a replacement of the pencil and the pentagram
not for sophisticated, for me, things like cakewalk, etc)
thanks
Cakewalk is also the closest thing to having an accessible score-writing program. Although the developers make no pretense about making Cakewalk a publishing-quality music printing package, it is very possible for a blind person to get notes, chords, and lyrics down on paper for sighted musicians to perform, especially when using the Caketalking program. If you're using Caketalking, it's even possible to hear lyrics read back by JAWS while a melody line is playing.
Many blind musicians, especially those involved in the performance of choral, orchestral, or classical piano music, rely on braille music notation. The braille music code consists of a special group of braille symbols to represent printed notation. Until recently, the only way to get braille music was to either order pretranscribed scores from a braille library or, if the score you needed wasn't available, it would have to be transcribed by hand.
GOODFEEL, a software program developed and marketed by Dancing Dots, allows a person to turn music that has been played into a sequencing package like Cakewalk into a hard copy braille music score. Braille music can be custom made for specific situations. A student in a high school band or orchestra can now have his or her part brailled out in advance so that it can be learned ahead of time. The same can be done with choral music, making it possible for a blind person to "sight sing" with the rest of the choir.
To use GOODFEEL, you first need to create a MIDI file in another program like Cakewalk. A sighted musician can play each instrumental part of a score into a separate track in Cakewalk. Or a blind composer can play in the parts to produce a braille score to use as a reference when conducting that debut performance. In either case, the music needs to be played in very rigidly to produce an accurate transcription.
If you are using the Caketalking program, it's also possible to put other notation symbols into your score, such as expression marks, dynamics, and lyrics. Caketalking has been specifically designed to be compatible with GOODFEEL.
Once you're done recording and editing the music in Cakewalk, the process of producing the braille score is quite simple. Load the GOODFEEL program, which is a standard Windows application, and then open the MIDI file that will be used to create the score. When the file opens, you are placed in a dialog box that allows you to choose from among several options, the simplest of which is "automatic transcribe." If you hit the automatic transcribe button, GOODFEEL may present you with some helpful error messages if it thinks that something isn't right with the file, such as an incorrect key signature. If there are no errors, you can Tab over to a number of possible brailling options, including: "braille as score," "braille for keyboard," or "braille parts." Choosing one of these options brings you to another dialog in which you can choose to either make a hard copy if you have a braille embosser connected to your computer, or you can edit the braille if you have a refreshable braille display. If you choose to edit the braille, you are automatically sent to WordPad, with the newly created braille file open and ready for editing. There is also a braille font available so that a sighted user can actually see what the braille will look like on the computer monitor.
Overture was the first notation program to include MIDI data editing using a Piano Roll and continuous data editor. Overture was also the first to notation program to implement VST/AU plugin support. We have always believed that not only should your scores look good, they should also sound great. After all, we create music to be heard, not seen.
I just wanted to know what system people use just because there are so many out there and I personally use Studio One and Logic, but mainly Studio One. I really like the score/note editor and I can print an entire score with all the parts instead having to transfer to other applications. I'm sure other DAWs can do similar things, but either way, I'm curious to know what software you choose to use?
For more improv stuff, I work in Cakewalk by Bandlab, but for anything remotely complex, I'm currently using Dorico, a music notation software that both hosts VSTs and allows expression maps. It's such a blessing, because I'm a classically trained pianist and find it very hard to think harmonically with MIDI notation. (Technically Cakewalk has a score view, but once you hit about three or four instruments it's just hard switching back and forth between MIDI and standard notation and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling...)
After getting his start as a songwriter in Long Island, NY, he made the move to LA to write music for television & film. It was in LA where the musical partnership with four-time Grammy award winning mixing engineer Brian Vibberts and golden-eared mastering engineer Patricia Sullivan (employed by Bernie Grundman Mastering) began. From this, the new company G4H Music Productions Inc. was born.
It's a matter of choosing the right tool for the job: when I know what notes I want to input, and want a high-quality score with minimum fuss, I use Lilypond. If I need to play around and experiment, cutting & paste, and have playback, then Finale or Sibelius under Wine or VirtualBox are the better option.
I'm attempting to take a concert piece and turn it into a corps or marching band arrangement. The brass parts were a cakewalk for me, but then comes the part of the score I never like looking at because it usually gives me a headache: percussion. I can read percussion music, but barely play it, and often I find it difficult to concentrate on an individual part when multiple are thrown on one line.
Now, going into this would have been impossible except for the wonderful people who made my software. As part of their tutorials, they included a tutorial on syncing a score to a video clip. The score and clip were the first minute of SCV's 2004 Scheherazade show. In that I noticed upwards of 10 pit parts: timpani, concert bass, xylophone, about 3 marimba parts and like 4 vibe parts, with all of the aux. percussion thrown in.
