If Encore on the Mac is anything like it is on the ST, I'd avoid
it like the plague... very poorly written.. and slow and ugly...

If Music Prose is not a too-much-watered-down version of FINALE..
then definetly go with MP.

FINALE and MUSIC PROSE use the same Kernel.. "Enigma".. 
I know at least the output of FINALE is fantastic.  I assume
MP is as refined a program while not being quite as flexible or
robust.
