I am in search of what I would call "music notation" software for the
Macintosh.  

First I should say that I do _not_ want software that controls a keyboard
through a MIDI interface.  (I already have a keyboard, thank you.  It's
made by Steinway and doesn't require a MIDI.)  All I want this software
to do is put notes (and words) on paper, sort of like a word processor
for musical notation (actually, probably more like page description than
word processing).  Also special sound capabilities are irrelevant to me;
I'm not going to use the Mac to _play_ the music.

If you know of software that does what I want, but also drives a MIDI-and-
keyboard (but does not _require_ them), I'm interested.

Second let me add that I've heard the argument that "notating by computer
takes forever and is cumbersome."  I'd still like to try it if it exists.
Try doing a 3-4 hour stint of manuscript--your fingers develop permanent
impressions from the pen and your notation starts to look like a 3-year-
old's finger painting.

This notation software should allow variable note spacing and text 
underlay (i.e. the words to a song) and cut-and-paste operations should be
possible.  (A lot of music is just repetition or slight variation.)

Please provide vendor as well as the product information, if you know it,
and thanks!
