About music programs, what I know, or don't

I have finale that I got at a student price at the school bookstore.
It was around $250.00. God knows what it costs on the open market.
It is very powerful and is used by many professional musicians and
publishers. It takes time and effort to learn to use, but its worth it.
..There is an inexpensive program (usually available in
the software warehouses the sell budget of half price software. It is
called Dr. T's Music Software, and subtitled as Quickscore deluxe for 
Microsoft Windows 3.1. It was under $20.00 and very, very easy to use.
Customer Service for Dr T's is 617-455-1454. If you can't find it 
locally they would probably give you a list of merchants.
     Cakewalk and Band in A Box are easily available and pretty user
friendly. They cost more that Dr.T's and less than Finale.
     There is also one called Encore about which I know nothing about.
That's it for now.

Good luck finding what you want.
