Let me second this suggestion.  Agreed, while NOTATOR does not produce
engrave quality... it is perfectly acceptable to studio musicians.
I recently scored a 17 piece orchestra for the Pacific Northwest Ballet
using NOTATOR.  Musicians were very impressed with the readability of the
scores.  I can't say in the process (learning) my dialect didn't change
during certain moments of stress and frustration..... but when i began 
to understand how the program works.... i discovered most of my problems
were of type "user idiot".  My only disappointment was in trying to edit
16 tracks of notation and midi event data on screen simultaneously....
an 030 chip would be nice.....
