mmmm, there might be one or two in those strange Mac bit map fonts like
Cairo. It may be worth having a look at Music Publisher by Repertoire
for the sort of task you are describing. This includes the whole
Repertoire font though, but is quite cheap, and includes a Dal Molin
style input keypad. It is quite geared towards doing text books and
similar annotated music, and as such addresses a different part of
the market to Finale.
