 Junk ... Trash February 25, 2008
Poor documentation. Clumsy to use on some of the finer points of music notation. I've lost file after file during the middle of notating music due to buggy programming corrupting the file while trying to fix musical mistakes. I guess you get what you pay for. I'm going elsewhere and will pay for a more sophisticated program this time.
Good Entry Level Notation Software Program January 9, 2008
I bought this program because I wanted to create professional looking scores within a budget. This software package was very affordable and fairly easy to install and operate. I would recommend printing and thoroughly reading the product operation manual (included via Adobe Reader)prior to operating this software. The only issues I had were that certain functions such as creating ties and slurs(which will take some practice to master)could have been easier to add to your score. This requires that you read the specific instructions. Other functions were very self explanatory based on the set up of the software.
Overall, if you have basic experience using Windows, need music notation software on a budget, and don't mind working through some minor bugs, this product is a great choice.
 Not happy with this software March 6, 2006
Granted, I didn't pay a lot for this software, but I have found it very, very time-consuming to use. It is next to impossible to undo a mistake. In fact, if you make a mistake, you often have to simply delete your entire work and start over. Very poor software documentation as well. Wish it was better...but, I'm going back to just using blank staff paper!
