Hi Larry, as an alternative to the midi notate look at http://proaudiomusic.com/PG%20music/power_tracks.htm

the notation package will not be as comprehensive as midi notate but ok for lead sheets, but it can do much more including digital audio and cd burning. A lot of bang for 25 bucks, download the demo from pgmusic.com and try it out.

yes, quantise your melody track, usually R1. Hard quantise just means 100%, ie set your quantise value to the shortest note in the tune consumerate with keeping any passing notes or riffs you may want in the score. As well as not using controllers you could switch off after touch in menu/overall touch sensitivity. This will give score conversion requiring the minimum editing to look good on the page.
