Sorry, but it's not clear just what you HAVE and what you WANT.

Am I right in assuming that you do not have a score and want to play a
song that you heard on the radio (or some other audio source)? In this
case you'll probably have to rely on your ears and experience to
figure out the melody notes, chords, rhythm, etc. The only short-cuts
a computer will give you are the ability to loop back over sections.

If this is a wrong assumption, please let us know.
