Phatnotes soonds like it will fit the bill for you. I've been using the
program for several years and it works brilliantly.

Too bad you didn't ask this question yesterday. Phatware had a sale with
everything priced at $12.95. (I bought the normally $40 Calligrapher during
the sale).

At any rate give Phatnotes a whirl. I think you'll like it.
