Question; Has anyone had any hands-on experience with Mark of the Unicorn's 'Professional Composer' package? Anyone own it? I am considering purchasing it, but none of the stores has it in stock. They'll order it, but then I'm stuck with it, whether or not it fills my needs. Mainly, I want to know how flexible it is. Can I really enter the 'Rite of Spring'? Or works with complex rhythms? Just what are the limitations of the thing? Can you make up your own symbols? Traditional notation is so vast, that it is hard to imagine that the programmers thought of/included everything. (String harmonics, glissandi, 'Bartok' pizz., quarter-tones, etc., not to mention contemporary innovations) - Karl P.s. Same questions for 'Total Music'
