Mac and I were discussing this here the play back part is the hard part to get right - if wooden muzak is good enough for a demo then you can use Sibelius or finale and even some of the notation software attached to high end seqwuencers




When arranging for live human players, Sibelius is the hands down winner. You don't play back on the computer, you pass the charts out and raise the stick and drop it and get all the realism the players can manage.

Cubase does not have the auto-arranging feature, does it? Can Cubase almost instantly turn a fake chart into a Basey Band style arrangement for 17 pieces? Can Cubase automatically expand a piano chart into a near perfect String Quartet arrangement, or Brass Choir, or even to Full Orchestra? Can Cubase show all parts on the score in C but print all separated parts in the proper key for the instrument chosen automatically? There are plenty of other features that are geared more towards placing charts in front of live musicians as well.

I think that is John's goal here, NOT playback on the computer.
