<HTML>Not Free - - But I founda shrink wrapped version of a Finale Program on Ebay.  One generation removed from current version.  Only paid $100.  It does everything you would ever want it to do unless you are into creating your own clefs, notes, symbols for music that only you would understand.  Most of these shrink wrapped versions are registerable which means for a small fee you could buy the current version if you thought you needed it.  At any rate the small amount you would pay would be a h--l of a lot less than the $750 that Finale wants. I'm sure the same thing would apply to other notation software on Ebay (if you know what you wanted) Good Luck</HTML>
