[LAU] seeking a creative songwriting solution.

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Brandon,
Thanks for the energetic ideas.
As shared, i am not in Linux, as I have not found an inclusive for me way 
to use the platform.
Built in notation would be ideal, but what you shared which has me 
interested is  a program that can notetate what  I sing.
Sonic visuals?  if I am correct, what platform supports this tool?
Karen
