Howdy,
I'm interested in notating music first off. Saving time in transposition and reworking tunes, mostly jazz oriented. I will want to play stuff in on a keyboard I expect. I want to set up a system that's got enough power/flexibility to do some live instrument recording ultimately, but my first need is the composition/notation thang. I've got about $1500 to spend and I have nothing now. I was thinking of getting a reconditioned mac configured for the aforemention tasks and some notation software, most of which comes w/ a bit of sequencing I hear. Any ideas about this here plan would be appreciated. Thanks |

Encore is an outstanding easy to use notation software, works just like ms word or any other word-processor. Should be enough for most users - I like this one a lot.
Only problem is that GVox dont seem to update it very often. Sibelius seems very slick once you get the hang of it, although I never really did. They seem to be aiming for Finale. Finale is a bitch to learn, but there isnt really anything you CAN NOT do with it, including cooking your breakfast. This is the most expensive program, it's layout funktions rivals Pagemaker or Indesign. Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
