A muscian friend of mine has recently got a sales blurb on an  appication
called  "Professional Composer" (TM) by Mark of the Unicorn in Cambridge,
MA.

Does anyone have any experience with it? Apparently it allows you  to  do
professional  score  composition.   You can create score paper, enter and
delete all types of music symbols,  and  group  notes  and  phrases  with
beams,  measure  lines,  slurs,  ties, etc. You can enter music, move and
copy passages, transpose charts, change rhythm, merge voices  and  insert
lyrics.

It  handles  many different instruments at once, four measures to a page.
Any information you may have will be greatly appreciated. My  friend  has
extremely  poor  vision  and  writing music by hand is very difficult for
him. He believes the Mac and Professional Composer will help him a  great
deal.

Thanks much.
