Songwriter, 2008-05-19
It was shipped promptly and arrived in no time. The Product works great and i am satisfied.
DNA's Opinion, 2008-04-25
Finale Songwriter---The ideal solution for those who wish to produce
music manuscripts with that professional appearance. Would have had 5 stars --- BUT --- it would have been good to know about the import duty
and to have paid off all expenses in one transaction. Still, I suppose we must support our Lords and Masters in the style to which they have become
accustomed.

 I expect a much better user interface experience from Mac software, 2008-01-12
I'm spoiled by Mac software that follows Apple's UI guidelines. This software is, frankly, ugly. My wife was disappointed that you can only play one handed to input your notes. Getting both hands in requires more effort and coordination.
If you're a beginner you may not truly have the need to get notes to paper. If you're more advanced, I think you could spend more money and get a better product.

 I realy dislike this program, 2007-10-31
I tried to put in a simple piano accompianiment. The automatic features were so overriding that I could not do the simplest things. If a beat contained a quarter note in the upper of the baseline but two eighth notes for the bottom, it assumed that the second eighth note went with the upper line and would not budge. It would not let me put a whole note in the bottom of the baseline combined with a moving part above it. I would have had to written each line as a separate score, making it -- no longer piano accompaniment. Seemingly the only notation it would allow was locked chords or what it predicted would happen. It also would not let me tie a whole note to another note in the next measure.
Maybe these things are possible but buried in a terrible manual, which doesn't seem to realize that laptops don't have numeric keypads.
I think it would be a particularly bad teaching device because it would encourage students to write only only in very staid, ultra-conventional ways.
Finally, there's no way to email them that I can find. Perhaps there is but they have buried the information. That also is not user-friendly.

 lousy handbook, 2007-02-01
Although I was originally amazed at the ability to convert a midi file to paper, I was later very disappointed in the ability to make changes to the music.
There is certainly a lot more in the program than I know of, but the handbook is poorly organized and not very helpful. It does not even explain what the cursor symbols mean. I had to call technical support for that. Their answer to my problem: purchase their other products.
For $30 more, I could have purchased a more powerful product from Intelliscore.
