Hi Mal,
Ditto to what David said. I would add that I am pretty sure I tried every notational program that existed several years ago, and my final choice was made between Composer and a French program whose advantage was that it had a plug-in with a number of voices that did text to singing, but presented problems of usage that Composer did not. I did try Sibelius, but found that with Composer I could get pretty much right to the music, so while Composer was intuitive the former required climbing a learning curve.

If you would like to browse through scores produced using Composer, you will find many in the Share Your Music section.

all best,
mgj
