I have an Mbox by Pro Tool and I want to be able to script or make musical notation of the music from the songs I create in Pro Tools. Is it possible, and if so, how?

I've never heard of that one either, but I also use Finale NotePad, it doesn't copy as you play, but it will play bakc what you have written.

Copy-As-You-Play sounds too good to be true..how would you edit if you stuffed things up...?
I like free stuff, I have to admit, which is why I use NotePad, but is there freeware of a program that will do what you describe?

The only program I know of that will write out the music you play is called Sebilius. It is quite expensive though. You can find it at www.sebiliusscorch.com. If you are affiliated with a school, see if the music department has a copy.

www.sibilius.com is the correct web site URL. Look for scorch after you get in there. I use Finale 2000 and will soon update to 2003 or 05.
There capabities in the full( and expensive) versions of both finale and sibilius to play (midi) and notate directly to the score. most people I know simply write their music manually. Finale and Sibilius have free versions of their programs. Of the two, Finales is easier to use IMO. I know people who swear by either one and composers who like one generally don't "cross over" so to speak.
