Finale realized there are different markets and so put out PrintMusic! which
is a verison of Finale missing some features.  Easy to find comparisons
on the web.  None of the in the finale line had the one feature I would have
paid extra for - the ability to define key signatures other than the 
standard major and minors, e.g. the typical 2 flats and a sharp.

So I notate everything in Am and put accidentals all over.

PrintMusic! is about 50-75 dollars.  They have a FREE version called NotePad
and a slightly more uxseable version called NotePad Plus for $24.
