Hello,

on 2012' Musikmesse in Frankfurt, I came across this:

http://www.arpegemusic.com/mtk.htm

a keyboard used to input events into a software called "Pizzicato", a
music notation software. 

It can be used with Finale and Sibelius, via MusicXML export. 

Has anybody such a keyboard available. It would probably only be a
matter of finding out x event codes for each key of the keyboard, and
mapping them to lilypond, probably via an abstraction layer, so that
it could be used with lilypond, frescobaldi and any other open source
notation software.

Unfortunately, the keyboard isn't sold separately from the software.

Regards,

Gabriel
