- Speaking purely from hearsay, my understanding about Score is that you type
- in an ASCII file and the program translates it into musical notation.
- Supposedly puts out as good output as any other program, but sounds like a
- bear to use.
-
- Have you looked at MusicPrinter Plus or Theme? Both are DOS based programs
- with a lot of notational power (though not quite as much heavy-duty
- artillery as Finale). MusicPrinter Plus supposedly gives very good
- quality from LaserJets. You can get working demos from the vendors.
