It just has a LOT of features. Have you guys ever heard of Cubase 2.0 by Steinberg Software? It also has notation capabilities up to the level of professional use. It is also cheaper than Notator, at least here. As a sequencer Cubase is the ultimate choise for a pro-level musician. It is very easy to use and uses the special features that ST offers to give the best flexibility to forget the program and concentrate to creating music. I have used both Notator and Cubase and guess which one got kicked out? I am not connected to Steinberg in any way, just a very happy end-user.
