scoring music on a PDA

I recently posted this request to an email list and may as well make it here too. Meanwhile, I think I’ve been invited to sing in two concerts in the first week of July (Chandos Singers/Exultate Singers) but am trying to sort out which I’m doing!

My trusty Psion 3c is giving up the ghost in various ways and is in any case hopelessly dated. I’d like to get a Palm or other kind of PDA to replace it as a personal organiser.

One of the applications I regularly use is called ‘Composer’. It allows you to notate a single line of music on a stave. If the note values add up you can get the Psion to play it back to you, though I can read scores well enough not to need this. But I find it useful for noting down melodies such as new Anglican chants (please don’t laugh). A musical equivalent of the Notepad.

So, my question: are there applications around for PDAs which do this? It would help me to choose between the various models available, or at least ensure that when I do take the plunge I can get the new gadget to do all that the old one did.
