Re: AABACA (was Finale, Sibelius, etc.)

[Dick Rosenberg <mashke...>]

I've only caught parts of this thread, but I've been looking around for a
new notation program for a while (my old one, which I liked, is acting flaky
and the company is out of business. It's Rhapsody.).

I downloaded Finale Notepad, which is Finale's free basic notation program.
It doesn't have anything fancy, but for basic notation it looks ok and is
easy and intuitive.

I will probably end up getting some software from www.vivaldistudio.com, in
Italy. Their software also looks pretty intuitive.

My $.02
