I mainly use it to transpose music for the concert B flat instruments in a small church group I am in. I wanted an improvement over DMC or ConcertWare + but didn't want to spend ca. $600. The street price of MusicProse is ca. $300. Some things about it are a bit clumsy but it is an major improvement over the programs mentioned above. If you get it, be sure to send in the registration card. Earlier this year they shipped out version 2.1 (free) to everyone who turned in a 2.0 registration. It was mainly a bug fix. By the way, it includes its own postscript font for music notation and guitar symbols. Bruce Seiler seiler@compass-da.com
