I'm trying to enter some sheet music onto my PC to play as a midi file and subsequently transfer to CD so I can use it as a backing track for singing.
I have a Roland keyboard (sorry I cannot remember the model but it has full midi support) and Cubasis 5 on my PC.
The problem I have is the score editor in Cubasis 5 seems really complicated. Perhaps I'm being a little naive but all I want is to enter the score, note for note, from what's on the original sheet music into the computer.
When using Cubasis it seems to try to guess the notes I want and I end up not getting what I originally wanted at all! I've been throught he help and that indicates that it should be responding the way I want it to but it adds extra bits in and doesn't put the notes in I tell it too.
I know that the new Cubase 4 score editor looks really good, but I cannot afford that.
Does anyone know where I'm going wrong with Cubasis or of any other good score editing software that I could use (preferably for free!).
EDIT: Just as a side note, I'm no good at playing the piano so it's no good setting the PC up (or the Roland) to record the notes played, I need to be able to enter the notes manually on the PC.
Many thanks,
DG
