Thank you for comment. See also the comment in my new thread. 549EUR for Sibelius 7 isn't cost I would afford for kind of hobby-like stuff, even though I heard some good things about it. There is also no Linux version (my main OS, but I have Windows). Does Sibelius really lessen that much your hair pulling efforts? Great score editing alone is not what I need, but it's surely a nice feature to have. I heard some good things also about Finale or sophisticated SCORE too. I cannot tell I am really educated music fellow (know basics, though, like triplets and many other things, what I really lack is possibly music composing theory and similar knowledge), so to some degree I agree with you about problematic over-simplicity of trackers in terms of proper music input. I know that a lot of folks is still using Cakewalk Professional v3.01 (which is free!) for MIDI sequncing. If I get to MIDI stuff again, I'll have to revisit it after these 15 years. I remember I liked it back then. http://www.simpilot.net/~richnagel/#cakewalk http://www.simpilot.net/~richnagel/#cakewalk
