- I have been using MusicTime from Passport. It is a slightly diluted version
- of Encore, their main offering in this area. I have seen Encore on sale for
- under $400, MusicTime is much cheaper (I think I paid $150). Both are very
- fine products. Two other major biggies: Music Printer Plus (Temporal Acuity)
- and Finale (Coda) are very good. I believe Finale is regarded as the top-of-
- the-top but there is a Finale-Lite offered by Coda, I can't remember what
- it's called. Reviews I've seen preferred MusicTime to the Finale-Lite.
-
- Music Printer Plus was not a windows product and it was more difficult to
- learn. But it did a beautiful job. The vendor, Temporal Acuity, is very
- reliable and straight-up, I've dealt with them on various occasions regarding
- other products.
-
- To reiterate, MusicTime is an excellent choice but you're limited to systems
- of 6 staves maximum.
