Has anyone out there ever done this without directly connecting to a computer? What digital piano makes this as easy as possible?

You can record the midi representation of what you are playing to the floppy and then use a computer program like Encore to print the score. You will have to do a fair amount of tweaking in the score program to make it look good unless your rhythm is perfect! ========= Jim Mason and Hamlin BB, Clavinova CVP900

If you don't want to get the higher models with floppy drives, you can MIDI out your commands to a PC program and record it like that, also. I use a Roland KR-277 Digital Piano and I just love it!
