First thing came to my mind is the Finale, but Victor will probably say his program with that colorful note analyzer. ( barely waking up ) we already talked about it in a different part of the forum...

sibelus or finale

Sibelius is a great program except that it doesnt show the end of the notes... so you never know whether it is a half note or quater or etc. If they could solve that... I think that would be the best programs from all.

But finale is free! I didnt know it could be user to create sheets Cool!

Well it isnt actually.... what you are thinking about it Finale Notepad... that doesnt have the feature... only the Finale program itself... as much as I know ( I tried my Notepad and it was not working with that)

aaaaah

Finale Notepad does a great job. And it's free

My "color analyser" piano roll program isnt
good for making sheets....

What a disappointment I thought that program is so cool, it must know that too...

Well actually the Finale Notepad (free version) does not open midis... you can only open .mus files... so you probably have a full version of the Finale 2005 or 2007 if you can do it

Search: www.downloads.com and you will easly get a free one, or a trial. I had one last week, but deleted it and cant remember the name!

I dont need to search because I have the free version and I also tried the trial version... but that was limited if I remember well... otherwise it gave the option you just could not save the sheet music if I m right.

I have tons of music programs installed and I dont use most of them... just install try and then... forget

I tried finale notepad and it can open midi to create sheet but the quality is so-so

Hmm you must have a newer version of Notepad ... but how do u mean wrong notes?

Well... Maybe cause my MIDIs has many instrument!

alright... then the only thing you need to use is to choose which instrument you would like to use.
The sheet music can have many different instruments in it and in the midi or converted sheet music those should appear on a different staff... I did transcripts where the melody I wanted to play was a violin and later was a flute... so I just checked them and swithed


Hope it can work out for u too.

I opened midi's with Finale, the free version, 08

A midi usually contains alot of instruments, you'll need to pick the channel you're gonna play, lets say it's flute, piano and drums,
then you'll have to play the piano part, but if the piano part is for the left and the flute is for the right, you'll play both etc.

It isnt rock science
