Thank you John for your imput about Hymns. If only it were that simple! Children's hymns aren't usually so easily available, and the accompaniments have to tailored to a particular school's needs - I work in ten different schools. But thanks anyway for taking the trouble to respond.

Bob - I've now managed to input a simple 8 bar melody line with accompanying chords, and I'm happy with that. But I can't get the MIDI up and running. I've done all you suggested, but no coloured notes come up on the screen keyboard so it obviously isn't recognising it. By the way, why are there two virtual keyboards?
Cheers.
