Well, the two "super-dooper" programs for this are Sibelius (which I use) and Finale. They both run around $300-600. They are designed to allow full composition and playback capabilities. I use it primarily for musical analysis.
I would look at GarageBand, if I were you. It now has the ability to notate the MIDI that comes in on musical staves. This is more basic than the Sibelius/Finale solution, but works very well if you just want to bring music in an play with it a bit. Siblius and Finale both make less expensive, stripped down versions of their flagship software. You can look at Sibelius at www.sibelius.com(1), and Finale at www.finalemusic.com(2) Check out these sites, and if you have GarageBand 3 (with iLife '06), you are all set! 1-www.sibelius.com 2-www.finalemusic.com Cheers!
