Bill,
I think you misunderstood what she meant. I think she has eschewed
the idea of preparing a score in favor of preparing her idea of the very
best audible performance. If she masters the "Fit to Improvisation"
option, she'll be fine, at least initially.

I understand that you find it easier to play your ideas into the
sequencer and then prepare them for notation. But even if you play by
ear you will need to know some of the basics of music notation if you
hope to produce a readable, accurate printed score.

Hi Sharon, If it were me, I'd have to find some kind of 88 note
keyboard. M audio makes an inexpencive keyboard. I can't remember the
model number but, it's only about $600.00 or so. It is also semi
weighted. It only weighs 17 pounds . It only has about seven sounds on
board. However, you could use your 61 note keyboard and midi it up to
the 88 note and put it on a double teard stand and have them in front of
you. and then you'd be able to play live. And being that the M audio
keyboard only weighs about 17 pounds, you could stand it on end in a
conor if room is an ishue. Anyway, that's what I'd do. When I was a kid,
I had a 7 by 10 bed room and I had an upright piano my sterio and 4
speakers a bed and dresser. I use to sit on the bed and play the piano.
That's a little tite but it worked.
Sorry for such a long explaination. I'll get back to you with the corect
model number. Hope that helps.
David
