Michael, If you had wanted to be able to express music via the computer medium you would already have purchased, made use of, and become an expert with a notation and/or music application not long after you made your first appearance on this list. If I recall correctly, that would have been two or three years ago. But you have not done so. I think it's best to be in a medium where your heart is already at.
