$100, still supports it. "Finale SongWriter" at $50 can also accept MIDI input.

It'll take an analog signal from a non-MIDI guitar, and figure out what notes it's "hearing"?

I knew that capture-from-MIDI was common, and can even do that for free. (If I can record the MIDI stream into a .mid file, there's a tool that attempts to convert it to ABC.) I'm not sure whether you're saying that low-end versions of Finale just do that, or that they do so in addition to being able to digitize and interpret an analog signal (which is what I was talking about). If Finale Guitar lets me play my analog axe right into the dound card and transcribes it for me, I need to start saving up for a copy.

FG claims it has "single analog instrument input" support. I think that's what they mean.

*drool* Alrighty then, a copy of a low-end version of Finale goes on the save-up-for list!

Oooooh, I think I gotta get me some of that. Any word on the street for how well it handles bass?

No idea — I have an ancient version of Finale Allegro, need to upgrade it at some point, can't sanely do Guitar because it doesn't run natively on OSX (and it looks like they can't make up their minds whether they like Allegro or Guitar...) and I'm not sure I trust it to work in Classic mode.

(And I'm no guitarist; brass and woodwinds.)
