Hello,
This past summer I was at a museum in Quebec which had an exhibit on orchestrated music. I remember there was a display running on a Mac (OS 9 or earlier) that appeared to be a midi/synth application of some sort. It had the sheet music written out for all the individual instruments which would then be played. You could trade between the instruments and see the different notes, etc. Anyway, it was just being displayed on two monitors, so I could not see what program it was. Does this program sound familiar to anyone? Could any of you provide me with information regarding it, or programs like it.
Thanks a lot!

Most commercial sequencers (such as Emagic Logic, Steinberg Cubase, Mark of the Unicorn's Performer or Digital Performer) can display and print MIDI parts as sheet music.
What are you looking to do?

Well, I want to transcribe notes (by hand or with a keyboard) in sheet music for certain instruments and have the program play what I just wrote. I don't know if there are many programs that do this, but the one I saw looked very simple, and straight forward; which is what I like. Basically, I want to work in an environment entirely or at least partly composed of sheet music. I don't want to play MIDI instruments like in Garage Band, I want them played back for me.

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for! The sound quality of 2004 was breathtaking! I'm really excited about this program. Are there any others like this I could compare it with? That $300 student price tag is very impressive though!

Well, MakeMusic has some scaled-back versions of Finale, but I don't know if they're OS X native yet (doubt it).
If you're looking for an even better price (and you're an educational buyer), check out:

$219 for Finale 2004 is a very, VERY hard-to-beat price.

Finale is *the* industry-standard high-end sheet-music typesetting software.

Thanks guys. As I play around with the 2003 demo (waiting for 2004), I'm almost positive this is the program that was used in the museum. And since you guys say it's the standard, that's not surprising.

Sibelius is another option. I've used both. They do all the same stuff, but I like the way Sibelius works better. Just me though.

Melody Assistant, from Myriad is quite a little gem of musig shareware (for the price) if you can stand it's interface.
Even it's bit brother, Harmony Assistant, has a very reasonable price tag.
