Have you tried looking around VersionTracker or Google at all?

In my limited searching, I found some interesting stuff.  You might 
be interested in "Practica Musica 4.0" 
  They claim it will run on 
the 68040 under 7.6(.1) or 8.0/8.1.   I don't know if they really 
mean the "68040" though, and not just '040 class CPUs (like the 
68LC040 in the 520).

It looks like it will allow you to transcribe music and play back the 
resulting score as a midi.  And in combination with serial 
midi-devices, quicktime 4, and/or FreeMIDI, it can record & 
transcribe music played on an external midi-device.  It also costs a 
cool $125 for the "standard edition."

FreeMIDI is, well, free.  it can be found at 
  You should 
also definitely check out Motu's other software (like Mosaic): 


In my music theory class that I took back in high school, we had some 
midi keyboards hooked up to LC580s that we could play.  The Mac would 
record and transcribe the midi.  It was pretty cool. 

So, I know this is possible, but I don't remember what software we used.

There are a handful of free music notation programs out there that 
will run on the 68k, but in my short look-see in Google, none of them 
seemed too elegant.  I think finding a free tool for the 68k might be 
hard to do these days.  And finding a professional quality tool will 
probably be even harder.

Peace,
Drew

I have one or two _sound_ recording programs which I have used on a 520
in the past.  I am currently working on reconditioning _very_ old
batteries on my "new" 540 and having a lot of fun.  I can tell you what
program I am going to use (I forget what it was right now and am going
to have to repeat the experimentation process again) in  less than a
week.  I will post what I used if noone else has previously posted the
same program.

Sincerely yours, Grizzlygiant

Thanks Gart, I WAS joking, but that¹s ok, sarcasm doesn't really work in an
e-mail...

Just to state really the obvious, the 512K Mac was of course a 68K machine
itself, and included the 68000 processor, not the (much faster and newer)
68020.

The "512K Mac" was an '020 machine, much earlier than a 520c. The 
program was on floppies and ought to run on a 68k machine.

What do you mean by song writing/recording?

Can she read sheet music?  If so, try Hypercard.

HTH,
