Transcription software?

August 10, 2005 at 07:22 PM · Good question. Help, anyone...?

August 10, 2005 at 09:09 PM · The answer is an unequivocal no. More or less.

I've done fiddle tunes and other styles (for myself, friends, and students), and I've done several various styles of pieces for my college MIDI Band (everything from New Age and Jazz to Rock).

I might be willing to do this for you, if the details work out between us. If you think you might be interested, let's email... :)

If it's a single melody line, one instrument, it *might* work; I've played with it and it's a bit iffy. Finale (notation program) now includes it; I've forgotten what it was before that.

Of course, it'd be great for your musical education to transcribe them yourself... ;)
