I don't know how much sheet music you have, but if it was me I'd try
to play it into a PC using a midi keyboard, and let an application
write the score
for me - writing it out long hand could get very tedious.

Sorry, not for Linux, but I do have a midi keyboard that's not being used.
If you are anywhere near Cowbridge, you're welcome to borrow it for
the duration of the project. You just need to find SomeMusicApp to write
the score from it (provided you have a midi capable sound card or a software
synth).

I need to find "SomeMusicApp" for my own purposes at some point, so
I'll join you on the hunt. I was using Cubase until I ditched windows, but
I don't have a similar app for Linux yet. Given the plethora of Windows
apps that do this (including shareware ones) they must exist.

Drop me a line if the midi keyboard is likely to be any use.

Regards,

Glenn.
