Yes.

Not really sure what you are asking.

FWIW: I use a graphical (Win3.1) program to "write" musical notation onto a
screen staff, with a mouse.
I write each instrument part separately. I specify the instrument voices. I
edit volume levels for each channel (instrument part) in total or one bar at
a time. The work is saved as a MIDI file.

I don't think there is any way to convert plain, paper, sheet music to a
MIDI, except by transcribing it.

On the other hand, it is possible to convert between MIDI, GIF, abc, .ps
and PDF if that is of any use.

I only have SB16 and VIBRA16 (which are the same under the hood), and an
AdLib clone (which can only handle 3 voices at a time), so I cannot really
say except that the AdLib is inferior to the other two for MIDI reproduction.
MP3s sound pretty much the same through all.

Regards,
Ron
