I’ll have to try Soundslice. I agree with the article that some good strides have been made in the last few years. It’s almost always better than keying in a score manually.

I also agree with Cerio that I have difficulty using Music XML with BIAB.

I write for small jazz groups, big band jazz groups, and a 13-piece chamber orchestra. I use these tools almost daily.
