Ah, thanks so much!

Sorry for another question - is there an *easy* way of making it use these dynamics during the live playback? I found the 'transform live playback' option, but I was kinda hoping for something a bit simpler... something where I don't have to manually put in each numeral value. >_< lol.

I dunno :/ I'll do an exploration.

I have the full version and if I put pp or whatever on something, it'd just do so automatically on live playback.

So I'll fiddle a bit

Ah np. It's probably just not working on the demo. Ah well, after two days of it, I'm used to the long way now. Hehe. Thanks heaps for your help.

Sibelius is awesome i have the latest one that is version 4 and i also have version 3, which ever one you can get they both have benefits...you can do anything on the program its really a time saver and so good!

I'm yet to figure out how you can do polyrhythms on sibelius though

ie have 3/4 going while you've got 5/4 going etc.

I'd love to help you with that one..but i wouldnt have a clue...im sure there is a way though! good luck!

Sibelius is really the good one and 4 is out at the moment. I'm not sure whether they still have free upgrades from version to verison but still.
Finale 2005 is pretty good and does the job...much like Sibelius. You can get a less superior download off the Finale website.
For all you geekliness out there Lilypad is the go: a text based way to write your music. However for the great bulk of people non-text based is the go.

There is an alright one that I use.. I don't do music in school itself, but I do study music regardless.. It's a free online version, called Noteflight - Sign In

Sorry if it doesn't have all the features you need, it's still in Beta testing and it's fairly new.. But it's good for when you need to jott down melodies and stuff in a hurry and you don't have time to wait for Sibelius to load or when you don't have a USB to take to school etc...

sibelius. im using 5 atm coz i couldnt be bothered upgrading to 6 in the middle of my hsc. one of the guys in my class uses 6 and he thinks its really good

Sibelius is great for the hsc.

Cakewalk, Cubase, Logic , Pro Tools (8 has sibelius notation engine) all have built in notation engines but all are extremely painful to use.

With sibelius its abit painful to get started. But once you get the hang, its very powerful.
