Hey, guys. I'm trying to figure out songs by ear and I'm wondering what the best way is to make my own lead sheet. I'm starting with Let It Go from Frozen (sorry) and I have all the chords I've worked out by ear. Should I be inputting them into Real Band or BB? Should I use my midi keyboard or just enter them with my keyboard? I downloaded a demo of Sibelius First but it seems like overkill.

Once I have the chords inputted, how do I input/edit the melody? Are there videos on this? I'm a total noob, but I'm happy just to have gotten the midi keyboard and the computer to talk to each other. smile

Doogiet/Elsa,

I tend to prefer writing lead sheets in either BIAB or MuseScore (free music writing software that's excellent).

http://musescore.org/

Playing it in by keyboard would certainly be quicker. You'd mostly likely need to quantise the notes are they're entered, though.

Regards,
Noel

Does BB support quantizing? I downloaded Musescore but it seemed overly complicated.

Yes: In BiaB you can Quantize notation in either the Melody or Soloist tracks

Melody > Edit Melody Track > Quantize Time Adjust > Quantize melody

(Choose Soloist menu item for the Soloist)
