Hi there. I have been using Allegro which is one from the top in Finale's notation software packages...I am getting half decent at the basics but I really can't imagine going much beyond what I know now...forget it. (I would rather be doing just about anything than reading these long, pdf help file, tutorials etc.)

As an example...I finally found out how to add a metronome marking to a chart. I can't imagine doing this each time, and then memorizing it so you don't have to look it up each time. Forget it...I will write it on in pen.

p.s. There goes my Finale endorsement but seriously...I would check out the competitors.
