Hi y'all.
I'm not a PC bod, so I thought I'd ask all you kindly netters (creep creep)...

My music teacher (a non-computer buff) is looking for PC notation S/W

Basically he is tired of writing out the same exercises and snipets of
score for all his pupils (I would imagine that `How much is that doggy in the
window' would get pretty irksome by the tenth time of writing!)

So a notation package which he can use as a score-database is what is
needed.  Time and key signatures are a must, additional free-text such as
fingering numbers and other tuition notes are highly desirable.
MIDI is not important.

His H/W - a bottom of the range PC-Compatible, mono with 2 floppies and a
          dot-matrix printer.

Any pointers?  Public Domain is preffered.  Commercial S/W is OK as long
as the price is not too high.
