[LAU] seeking a creative songwriting solution.

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Francisco,
Are you suggesting that musescore could generate  notation from my voice 
alone?
I did not follow the midi aspect,   it was not a part of my question, 
since the  goal is to create what I need from the basic of only my voice, 
no  keyboard required.
I did follow taking that and expanding the instrument's  using the 
second program you  referenced.
that there are mac editions helps.  Linux is not ready for me it seems 
laughs!
Karen
