I believe there are now some inexpensive USB-MIDI adapters out there. Many sound cards have a 15-pin female connector for MIDI and also joystick, but the adapter cable is $15-20 (I found a schematic online and made my own, which wasn't trivial since the schematic was wrong!).

I stand corrected on the distinction between a serial connection and a joystick connection--It is a joystick connection. Nevertheless, extensive lengths of cable can be used. I should have thought to mention that USB-MIDI should be on the market by now. I hope you don't have Win 3.1, because configuring the protocols for MIDI devices was a real headache and test of patience with that platform.

That would be a safe assumption, yes. :)

resp:6 they used Finale at the piano lab when I was at Central Washington University. The commands are a little complex, but it does seem pretty comprehensive.
