I posted a question a while ago about FINALE and Cakewalk but there were no
responces. Has anyone used FINALE 2.0? (It just arrived now in the stores
last week).
I'm looking for a program that can offer easy composition in standard
notation with printing capabilities (prefferably laser-postscript) and can 
also handle input from a keyboard (sequencing) or MIDI instrument. 
I have the MQX-PC MIDI interface and a Roland D-10 keyboard
I'm looking at
	FINALE-PC v2.0
	Cakewalk Pro v4.0
	Music Printer Plus v?

any other ones I should be looking at?
I want to be able to compose using both keyboards (computer and music) at
the same time so getting two programs is not as useful.

any remarks, help  will be appreciated

reply to asaxon@jarthur.claremont.edu
or post in this news group
	Thanks
Allan
