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 |

The one thing I DONT like about Digital Performer 4.1, is the notation part.
It is very cumbersome and primitive, if you compare it to. Lets say Encore 4.5.4 from Gvox, or Finale from Coda or Sibelius. If you want write/compose/transpose scores for music - ( any kind ) - I strongly recommend getting a specialized note-writing/score program.
