After doing much research on the different brands of music notation softwares , I've decided to go with the Finale brand of music notation software.
Okay here are my requirements :
1) I compose my own melodies and songs on my piano and so as such I would like to have my melodies scored out on software.
2) Print my melodies for future references.
3) Venture into simple MIDI sequencing via music notation scoring.
4) For point 3 to happen , I would need a variety of instrument samples. I'm not really particular about how realistic sounding these in built samples are since I'm only starting out with MIDI sequencing.
From what I've gathered so far , Allegro 2007 has MIDI sequencing functions while Printmusic does not have.
Allegro retails at $300 (ordered via online) because the local distributor said that Allegro isn't a popular choice in Singapore and so as such they only bring in printmusic and Finale 2007.
Printmusic retails at $159 at Challenger.
Of course Allegro has more functions than printmusic but what I'm looking for in Allegro is the relavance of additional functions based on my requirments. I don't want to spend $300 on Allegro only to find out that I'm paying extra $141 (price difference between Printmusic and Allegro) for a bunch of extra awesome functions which will become white elephants to me.
Please advise.
Cheers
