I am seeking guidance on hardware and software to do the following:

1. connect a G4 Mac (graphite @ 400Mhz) to a high-end
Organ approximately 9 Meters / 18 ft away.
2. Software to make music notation and print sheets of music.
3. Hardware and software must be Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X compatible.

So, I need to know what hardware is needed to make the physical connection and software to do music notation with the ability to print.

I have been searching the web for 2 hours and have not found enough information to do this confidently by myself.
Many Thanks!

Does the organ have MIDI in/out?
If it does you will need a USB MIDI interface with 1 in and 1 out and obviously drivers for OS 9 (probably OMS) and OS X, also either 2 long MIDI cables or 1 long USB cable.

Have a look at

The best software would probably be Sibelius. It works in OS 9 and OS X.
It is a dedicated notation program.

You could use Logic Platinum however it has many features you wouldn't need if you only want to print scores
