Template for Music?

[johnl]

Does anyone know if there's a plug-in or template for Microsoft Wor
that would allow one to print sheet music?

Specifically, I would like to generate song sheets with lyrics an
chords for guitar; if possible, I would like to also be able to prin
the guitar chord diagrams above each chord, and also the tablature, i
desired.

I know there are specialized music programs for doing this, but I'v
downloaded a lot of the demo programs, and none of them seems to be b
able to do exactly what I want to do.

If anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate a response.
Thanks.

I think you'll find that Word is going to require a bit of customization to
provide anything what you would get with one of the specialized music
programs. At bare minimum you would have to find a music font that has the
tablature symbols or create your own. I have decent familiarity with a
number of music programs, but more for keyboard usage. Someone on
rec.music.makers.guitar or rec.music.makers.guitar.tableture might provide
some more specific suggestions.

John,

I've been happy with NoteWorthy (http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/) as a
transcription/printing program. Try the demo. If you like it, it's
inexpensive (US$39).
