I'm afraid if you want to use staff entry to compose midi files there's no
freeware. It's on the pricelessware wish list and has been for ages.

I've just followed the link supplied by aa fussy just in case this was
finally the answer, but it did not download, and, though I have no
experience of this source, a look back at the comments on this ng inspired
no great hopes.

My main reason for this post is for someone to prove me wrong ... please
do!

Well, thank you all, but all suggestions so far exceed our requirements.
All that is required is the ability to write notes, as desired, on a line
and add lyrics underneath. No automation or bells nor whistles!
Just plain computerised scoring ( to make ones shaky handwriting look
extremely steady)

Whoops, beg yer pardon, some of us are undistinguished instrumentalists and
have to get the computer to perform our masterpieces.

I think Finale Notepad might suit
http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/

(you have to register, but the full Finale is highly rated, I've no
personal experience) or a new one on me , you might like to test it,
musette

You are a star *
I've downloaded both and will give them a test run.
Musette looks eminently suitable!
So, once again it's not what you know, but who!
