Anyone use Finale 2007

Post by drummer_goat »

is it worth the money?

I'm looking for something to use to transcribe "busy" parts in songs and doing it by hand wastes alot of time. I've used this a few times but don't own it and it cool but got quite a price tag! If anyone uses or owns this program or one like it, do you use it for a similar purpose? It kinda seemed like a more musician oriented "garage band" for writing songs, which is not what I'm looking for. I just want a progam to write the music on staff paper not play it back.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Are you using it just for drum notation? Otherwise, I'm sure there would be cheaper software that's more specific to your purposes (of course, I don't know of these programs). I'm sure you can probably find a free program somewhere that could do this. I wouldn't spend $250 on Finale or Sibelius unless you're doing a lot of composing/song writing.
