Re: Missing notation features
Hi,
First of all thank you for your kind words regarding Notation Composer. We are glad that you find it to be intuitive to use - we have spent a lot of time working to make it "musician friendly." Many of the features that you refer to have occasionally been requested and are on the "wish list" of advanced features. However, our main target audience is "everyday musicians", and we work diligently to provide the features that "everyday musicians" need while keeping our prices low so that these musicians can afford the software. The current features in Notation Composer are the ones that we've found to satisfy the majority of our target audience, as well as even more advanced composers who like the usability of Notation Composer as an actual composition tool. These folks use Composer for the actual composition process, and then use our MusicXML export feature to take the composition to another program such as Finale or Sibelius to "polish" the score with the more advanced engraving features available there. The development time for the more advanced engraving features would be substantial, and of course that cost gets passed on to our customers. The newly released Dorico notation software doesn't even have any of those features currently, and costs about 5 times the price of our Notation Composer. So while I am sorry that Notation Composer does not meet all the fine engraving needs for your daughter's music technology assignment in regards to advanced engraving needs for this assignment, perhaps her instructor will have an assignment for an original composition later. In that scenario, Notation Composer would give her tools that the other programs haven't even dreamed of There are a few points below where Composer may do what you're looking for, and I'll try to give a few tips.

I *think* that what you're referring to is the D in the last measure of the 3rd line in the attached example. All I can say is that Composer only adds accidentals with parentheses to avoid confusing the live musician about keys. Quote:
