				Music writing software
			 
			Do any of you musicians use software for writing? I downloaded the Forte freeware and I'm having a lot of problems using it. The tutorials are bare boned and not much help. I'm transposing Schuberts Ave Maria from C major to B flat major for cello and it's not going well. I started doing it by hand but man what a chore that is. If you use Forte maybe you can help? Or do you know of a simpler program?

			Can you import s standard midi file into forte, "select all", and move it down a whole step?  Seems like you should be able to. I'm unfamiliar with that particular program.

			I've been messing around with Notion for the iPhone / iPad and it seems pretty solid.  Not a professional - just a hobby / tinkering sort of thing for me but might be worth a look.

Forte has that ability but I don't have a Midi capable keyboard or any other way of generating a midi file.
