Encore is an excellent easy to use notation software. It doesn't have all the bells & whistles of Finale or Sibelius but it's far more intuitive.
It supports all the standard note entry methods, the playback engine kan play back your score with repeats, endings and quite a few midi-driven expressions, like volume, swells etc.
Version 4.5.4 for Mac OS-X have limited support for sound/synth modules however and it's midi implementation is somewhat limited in scope.
( I can not get access to all sounds in my Proteus-2000 as an example)
Encore produces easy to read scores and can handle fairly complex layouts with aplomb.
If you dont need all the features of Finale or Sibelius, I can heartily recommend Encore, I have been using it for years. It's really very easy to get started with and can handle most everyday scoring tasks.
