rharv,

I was able to draw that conclusion about notation quickly upon using PT. I own a copy of Finale PrintMusic. It's great for notating, but I find that workflow is slow, thus stifling the creative process. What I really want is the best of both worlds-notation and beautiful sounding digital audio outputs.

A former student of mine uses a program called Guitar Pro 6. The notation on it is fairly basic, but it's much quicker and easier to navigate than Finale or Sibelius (much cheaper too!). I will likely purchase a copy of it for quick notation and use it in conjunction with BIAB/RB. If I need a very high quality output, I can always import the data into Finale to clean things up later.

I just discovered what BIAB soloist and melodist can do. Truly unbelievable!
