G'day. I've used both Sibelius 3 and currently Print Music 2011. I have been making melody midi files in PrintMusic and importing them into BIAB. After I rendered to .wav, I found that the mix was not what I thought I had made in BIAB. The melody volume really fluctuated. Looking at the Events List I found a whole lot of CC7 changes. I had not put any in and I was pretty sure they didn't get there during the mixing either. Thanks to Mario, I learned how to quickly get rid of the unwanted CC7's in Sonar. Still, I was haunted by those unwanted volume changes. Finally, the light bulb came on when I listened to a few songs that I had done entirely in PrintMusic. There were volume changes and I had not entered any dynamics into the songs. There are no options/preferences to stop this that I could find.

I would like to get a different notation program but certainly one that doesn't add CC7's. However, I don't want to spend $500 either. I would like one that could handle 16 instruments if that's possible. I'm not asking anyone to do any research for me since I can Google, but if you have something you like from personal experience, I'd appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks.
