Sup folks. Here's the scoop:
I'm getting paid 500 dollars to do music for a bunch of games to be released for the Sidekick. The only problem is the Sidekick's usage of MIDI, and I need to get my hands on MIDI compositional software (like Finale, or similar) in order to complete this job.
Can anyone help me out?

I know noteworthy composer lets you make sheet music with various instruments and save it as a midi. You can probably find a torrent of it somewhere. Also, try www.snapfiles.com That site has lots of different tools and programs. |

You know me to be a cheap bastard. I've been using Finale Notepad which is free to download off of the company site (just need to "give" them an email address). It's not terrible elegant, but I think it can do Midi format. Then again, I also suck at computers so I may be confusing midi and mus formats. I'll run a search and see what I pull up.

Out of curiosity, what software was it? You never know when I'll have to rock out some mad midi skillz up at the U.R. Wow, that has to be the lamest I've ever sounded.

So this has turned into a "How lame is Dan?" thread?

There are two major names in MIDI notation right now: Finale 2007 and Sibelius 4.
Sibelius is by far the better of the two, because they have basically been bought out by Disney and their ProTools application. Within the next few years, it can be expected to be much better than Finale in almost all aspects.
I am assuming you weren't thinking of spending the $300, so I'll just say I would choose Sibelius to pirate if I had a choice.
