I'm a composer, and I'm looking for a Mac music editing/printing
program that Stravinsky could have used to print _The Rite of Spring_
on a Laserwriter.  MIDI I/O would be valuable but not absolutely
necessary.  The only program I've heard of that sounds as if it might
be adequate is Finale.  Has anyone here had experience with it?  If
so, what are its limitations?  I've heard it's buggy; are there
serious problems with it?  I'd rather not spend $1000 unless there's
no other program that could do the job; is there anything else that's
as good or better?

Please reply directly to me, as I'll be going out of town soon and
won't be able to read the net; my mail will be forwarded to me and
I'll have a summary of replies posted here.
