So if I understand this correctly, there are programs for the computer that will allow the insertions of chords, along with the melody, that we can print out in sheet music format. It has to be a midi, and only Track 1 is needed. How are chords inserted quickly, using a trick, as Alex described?
I never intended for this Post to go in this direction. However, I'm glad it did.
I find this subject fasinating. I never knew we could print sheet music from a midi.( Did you ?)
Now I'll have to decide what software is best suited for this particular purpose.
Thank You All !

This whole long thread blows my mind

and all the info included is overwhelming.

I guess I'm just dense or something, but I am lost in all the comments and suggestions.

Now maybe someone with a better brain than mine (and that is probably most of you!)

can pull all this information together and condense it, and just list the simple steps, one by one, needed to print a lead sheet with chord names, and whether another program is needed other than the midi save file from the keyboard!

If this sounds like a really stupid request from a true "dummy", so be it, but maybe someone else here is as confused as I am! Thanks for bearing with me!
