Check with your sources on MusicProse (also from Coda) as an alternative.  If
the marketing hype I received is to be believed, MusicProse is the
manuscripting portions of Finale made more robust, stand-alone, and with added
enhancements -- making it BETTER than Finale for manuscripting.  There are lots
of things Finale does that MusicProse doesn't even try to do, by I have heard a
Code rep claim that it is substantially better than Finale at what it does do.
