Scott, Thanks for your reply. Your discussion about the MusicPad on this forum is one of the reasons I have been watching the prices for the past couple of years.

I understand that the MusicPad will import various file types. My real question is being a complete novice with music notation software, is it practical to create lead sheet format music (with large type) from these programs to export to the unit, or is scanning a more efficient operation.

I am also curious about the editing capabilities once imported into the MusicPad. Is it easy to add or change notes, add or change chord symbols, etc.

I am certain much of this will become more clear when I actually have the thing in hand, but your thoughts in the meantime are very much appreciated.

Lanny
