You may want to look into Lilypond. That's free. It is a music engraving program, and there is a learning curve but it sounds to me like it will do what you want.

Hi all, I want to create music on the Mac. I know Garageband is the default answer, but here's the thing: I can't actually play the piece, but I can construct it. That is, I could tell the computer to play these two notes with the right hand for x measures, while doing this with the left hand. So, though I can't play the music, I would like to somehow create a sequence that, when saved to a Midi file, will be the music. I can then use that midi file to learn how to actually play the piece. Perhaps Garageband can do this. If so, how? If not, what do people recommend for hand-sequencing music instead of just recording it from a keyboard or amp? Again, I need to be able to put together a midi file without just playing the music I want. If GB is able to do this, are there tutorials or podcasts? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
