To me that makes no sense. You're the first I've heard make such a statement. Notation programs are far superior for that purpose.

MuseScore is a free notation program that excels in that.

BIAB was intended to be a "Band in a Box" not a notation program.


I use notation software all the time for new songs, arrangements, etc. I originally used MuseScore and while it was usable, and the price is right, I wanted something more powerful and less clutzy. I considered Finale and Sibelius after researching their capabilities, but stumbled onto Notion through a review by Sound On Sound magazine.

For $99, it does everything I need (how about an arrangement for a 20 piece big band) and is real easy to use.
