The shift from arco to pizzicato is not something notation programs tend to pick up, though it would make sense for some of this to be automated. But in my experience it's something that has to go in the same way as dynamics, articulations, and expressions. And while we're at it, bowing symbols also require this type of hand entry in every program I've encountered. On the Windows side you've got Sibelius Speaking, which is woefully outdated and limited in what it can do, (as well as costing a lot of money for the Jaws scripts) and Sibelius Access, which uses an older version of Sibelius but has no cost for the scripts and has a lot more flexibility. Some other options, like Lillypad and ABC, also can work, but they're not good at importing MIDI files. Nothing is as easy to use on the notation side as QWS for MIDI stuff.

That's really interesting, but what if, for example, you want one part of your song with strings bowed and another part pizzicato, those are two different sounds on the keyboard. Also, do you know of any notation software that might be as blind accessible and straightforward as QWS is with MIDI? I have MuseScore right now but haven't actually created anything with it. I know this question isn't about QWS itself, but I'm just wondering.
