Eight sounds right; however, if you're playing the music through the Mac
(and not a synthisizer via the MIDI interface), you can only have four of
the notes played -- DMCS can play only four notes at any vertical position
on the staff.

I believe mmt@dciem pretty much said it for me.  Some annoying bugs, but the
best thing out there for the Mac and for the money ($49!  Amazing value).
Also, as someone who has MusicWorks, I can confirm that Deluxe Music
Construction Set is head and shoulders over MusicWorks.  I was able to get
almost any piece of music I tried into DMCS (sometimes with a little
finicking) on a 512K Mac; There is a great deal that just will not go into
MusicWorks.
