How do you create midis? Do you need a certain program and is it expansive to buy? Also, how do you write music score sheets on the computer? Very curious cause I want to submit some music sheets...

BTW, my countries currency is not that good.

1 American ringgit = 3 or 4 of bucks.

1 British pound = 7 bucks...

1 Australian dollar = 3 bucks.

Well one unit of your currency is orth more than one USD, so....

Finale Makes Midis. Usually only the "full" (paid) version of a program will let you save it as a midi.

How much is the full paid program?

Heh, around $400 American, I think. There are less expensive Finale programs that you can buy, though, like Songwriter and Printmusic, which can both export midis. Heck, I think even the paid version of Notepad can make midis. There are plenty of programs besides Finale that can make midis, but Finale's probably most user-friendly.

Oh dear, 400 American dollars...

About... 1200 or 1600 bucks of my countries currency...

Well, like I said, you could buy a cheaper version of Finale; I think the lowest is about $30 US.
