Hi,
Since you've found the Notation Software user's forum, I'd encourage you to try out Notation Composer. Composer offers a variety of ways to enter notes, has easy and intuitive editing capability, lets you hear what you've entered (and edit the performance quite finely for great sound), is currently having a "pick your price" sale, and also has a great community of supportive and helpful fellow musicians. Is that a sales pitch you hear? You bet
To find out more about Notation Composer, you can visit the information page at
www.notation.com/NotationComposer.php and watch the videos there. To try it out free (fully functional - not "crippled" at all) you can download the trial version from
http://www.notation.com/DownloadComposerTrial.php There's also a new (and growing) section of Tutorial Videos
(just click here) to get you going fast.
As a disclaimer, I do work for Notation Software. But the biggest reason I started working here is that I love Notation Composer
ttfn,
Sherry
