Noteworthy Composer is a great MIDI editor. You can get a free trial version. Last time I checked the main limitation is that they only let you save a file 10 times. This can easily be circumvented by copying and pasting everything in one file to a new file.
Do you make your own midi tracks with it?
I used to when I was a teen with a lot of time on my hands. These days I'm just a lazy guitar player that doesn't want to figure out how to do anything. I'm not available on Friday nights for the guitar thread, and I don't feel like getting recording figured out. I was thinking that I could possibly leave something to be posted in my absence.
I forgot to mention that Noteworthy actually requires you to be able to read music to some degree. I'm not fast at identifying what note is what, and if I see a cluster of notes (i.e. chords), I'm gonna be overwhelmed. I understand how it works and know about keys and stuff. A diatonic melody can be read or programmed pretty easily if you know that stuff. Go two notes up in key and then three notes down. You can do it like that instead of knowing what each line/space is. I'm kind of surprised, though, that I know quite quickly that the middle line is B and the top and bottom lines are F and E respectively. Using this program is the biggest exposure to sheet music I've had.
