Dear LJ Collective:
I have to sing a song in my upcoming play (pimping to follow--clear your calendars for midMay) and I'm looking for a web-based application that will allow me to plug in a simple sequence of notes (no chords, key of f#) so that I know what notes I should be singing and at what cadence. Priority given to something that also allows me to input rests.
Thanks!

This is what I used to use when I was taking singing lessons in college. Worked pretty well, lets you do keys and rests and all that.

The best online, free notation program is Noteflight. I think it'll do what you want.

If nothing works, take a close-up picture (or scan) of your music, send it to me, I'll put it through Finale and email you back in whatever audio and/or visual format you want.

Are you at work today? Because I'm currently plugging this into Anvil and I have no idea what format it saves in. (:

My school is too cheap to actually purchase real notational software. I have Finale at home.

How did Anvil work?

Pretty well, after that short frustrating learning curve. I had to download something else to convert the MIDI file, but it was pretty intuitive and I liked it.

Good! Sounds like you're set then. (Having to get a separate MIDI converter is par for the course.)
