Hi,
thanks for responding. I checked the two things mentioned, both were 'unchecked'. I really do want to persevere with this, but I can't work out the best way to input. I have just tried my MIDI keyboard but can't get that to work; it recognises its existance, in that the name is there (and highlighted)in the Midi/Audio drivers dialogue, but no sound is produced from it. I am not a MIDI techy, so don't know where to go from there. As for inputting with a mouse, which I was battling with yesterday, I'm assuming I use the Notation / edit window and it IS working, but it's such a slow method of doing it. Am I missing something?
