Composing music I guess tops the list ... I've been doing a lot of improvising at the organ console lately, and recording those ... trouble is I can't find a program that will convert the MP3 file into a music score. Oh well - perhaps some day.

A thought Lars, does your console have a Midi output (or could a Midi interface be added)? Alternatively could you invest in a a midi keyboard, listen to your MP3 improvs and replay them on that and record the Midi files to PC then import them to Noteworthy (or Finalé etc) for further work and/or print out.

I know Finalé can import direct from a MIDI keyboard, suspect Noteworhty should do so as well. Of course if you had a set up like Panos and others with Midi keyboards and GrandeOrgue software you could improv at home and feed your notation software at the same time.

I found 2 applications that claim to convert MP3 to MIDI

I did try one, probably the first (and cheapest) it struggled with anything other than a single instrument, so maybe an organ with say reeds on one manual and a flute on the other could be a problem. the Intelliscore one claims to be able to cope with multi voiced music, but not having $149 going spare I didn't try it!

It may be that somebody with your musical knowledge could weed out the errors on the files produced by the cheapy, but I passed on that.

EDIT, I see from another thread that we've had part of this discussion before!!
